[AS]
on (release) {
{
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“blank3test”, 1);
\_root.blank3test.\_x =134; \_root.blank3test.\_y = 80;
\_root.blank3test.loadMovie(“link3.swf”);
}
}
[/AS]

When you create movieclips dynamically, you need to give them depths. Two movieclips can not be at the same depth, because they won’t work then. That might’ve been your problem, that there already was a movieclip at depth 1.
