_parent loadmovie

hi everybody!

i have a button in a loaded movie, which on release is supposed to create a new empty clip on the parent MC and then load another movie into that empty MC. somehow it’s just not loading the new MC when i test the parent movie. in the last frame of the loaded movie i have:

 
gallery1.onRelease = function () {
	_parent.gallerycontainer.unloadMovie();
	_parent.createEmptyMovieClip("gallerycontainer", 1);
	gallerycontainer.loadMovie("gallery1.swf", 1);
	gallerycontainer._x = -50 ;
	gallerycontainer._y = -50 ;
}

i’ve tried everything back and forth, and i’m getting desperate…

thanks, martin
