flash (macromedia) : Import Form based application into another.

We want to develop a Flash Form application with easily a 100 fairly
complicated screens.
Rather than make one BIG document with all the screens (and sub-screens)
appearing under application,
we'd like to import other *.swf Flash Form applications.

So far, our experiments have failed.
We've use the:
- File/Import|Export method.
- Adding a MovieClip (Form Application) to the Library and including it.
- and loading the MovieClip in ActionScript
The resulting screen, when shown, flickers all the screens in it.

The screen we're trying to import is a rather complicated one developed purely
thru the IDE.
It has an accordion, a simulated tabbed folder and miscellaneous other items.

Are we trying to do the impossible? Is there some kind of call to be done on
the MovieClip in its first frame? (Tried what we could.)

Thanks in advance.

We've got it.
I used the IDE to place a label and name the instance myImport. Then I used myImport.loadMovie("Something.swf");
It works just fine.
