I got a swf that loads various other .swfs. I’m trying to make a button inside the loaded swf that will load another swf in its place.

The script I used is:

[AS]this.invbut.onRelease = function() {  
loadMovie(“pages/frost.swf”, “stageloader”);  
};  
[/AS]

I’ve tried using \_root.loadMovie(), \_level0.loadmovie()(this replaces everything and dispays just the loaded swf). But neither worked.

Heres an image I made to try and explain things:
