</div>

\_root.links.link1.onRelease = function() {  
loadMovie(page1.html, \_root.content);

}

is my current code, but it doesn’t appear to be working, here is the error I get:

Error opening URL ‘file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Chris/My%20Documents/flash%20site/undefined’

The button that the actionscript is applied is a loader componant, which loads in an external file. I’m hoping to make every graphic in this SWF external, therefore making it highly customizable.

The actionscript calls for a file (page1.html) and places the content in the dynamic text box, which is \_root.content.

Any help would be lovely.
