macromedia flash sitedesign: I must be missing something, but I can't seem to figure out how to access
timelines or pretty much anything from a container swf in the swf's I'm
bringing in with loadMovie()

for example I have loadMovie("news_sign.swf", news_holder);

I have tried several things but I (like just doing a simple stop on the clip)
but I'm not getting it to work. What do I need to do?

here is the code I use to load puictures to one of my swf:
loadMovie("picture01.jpg", "pic_mc");
Instead of jpg, ypou can load a swf. I think you need "" around your
news_holder. I think your code should look like this:
loadMovie("news_sign.swf", "news_holder");

hi try this

news_holder.loadMovie("news_sign.swf"0;

news_holder // will be movieclip in which you would load your swf

Just have a main loader swf. From that swf load a swf using loadMovie();. WIth
that code try this loadMovie("yourmovie.swf", 1); Give it a 1 to indicate where
it should be loacated. THe loader swf is always a 0. From that you can now
control any swf. If you wanna control the loder do this _level0.play(); or
_level0.stop();. Do control the level 1 which is your movie just switch the
_level0 to _level1. Really simple.
