Insert an swf file into another Flash file

Question

Hi,
I'm a newbie to flash trying to insert an SWF flash file (a game) into another Flash file. However, when I import the swf file into the library and drag it onto the frame (and insert the stop(); command onto the frame action to stop it playing the whole movie), the SWF file plays constantly, ignoring all the actionscript and button commands in the game SWF file.
When I try inserting it using the Window component, the game SWF refuses to play at all - it just stops (clicking buttons in the game work, but it goes-to-and-stops instead of go-to-and-play like it's supposed to do). The only other component I could find was called "Loader". Using this doesn't work either, it won't play any of the animation, just like using the "Window" component
When the game SWF is played by itself (by just double-clicking to open it from Windows Explorer or embedding it in a web page), it works fine.
Any help how to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm posting in this thread because my problem seems similar but may be not...
In my first swf, I'm loading a second swf via loadClip().
My second swf works well alone but when I try to integrate itself in my first swf I'm losing my events. My events only works on my first swf.
I'v tried your trick with _lockroot but he doesn't work for me too.
Is someone have an idea to help me ?
Thx
My code is really basic
First swf:
        var mcloader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
        var listener:Object = new Object();
        listener.onLoadInit = function (mc:MovieClip){
            main_obj.__preloader.die();
            obj[funct](target_mc, param);
        mcloader.addListener(listener);
        mcloader.loadClip(file_name, __loader);
Second swf:
    var box:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("box"+depth, this.getNextHighestDepth());
    //Draw box
    drawBox(...);
    // Event on Box, Change Alpha and show arrow or not
    box.onRollOver = function() {
        drawBox(...);
