Hey guys, I hope you can help me out on this one.  
I have a movie, where there are some buttons in it, and an extertal .swf file.  
What I want to do, is when the mouse hovers over the movieclip called google, i want it to play the next frame in that movieclip. Works excellent when I don’t use an external .swf file.  
But right now it seems like nothing is happening when you hover over. What could I be doing wrong?  
Here’s my code (my external .swf file is called “mix.swf”):

```auto

var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
 mcl.addListener(mclL);
 mcl.loadClip("swf/mix.swf",holder);
// - Google
this.holder.links.google.onRollOver = function () {
  holder.links.google.gotoAndPlay("over");
}

```

Please heeelp :ne:
