hey guys, heres my problem,  
i have an mc with a button inside of it. on the button, when its clicked i want it to load a swf into my main timeline. my actions on the button are :  
on (release) {  
\_root.emptyMC.emptyMC1.loadMovie(daniel.swf");  
}

now this isnt working and my question is,…how come? do i need to do something special because the button is Inside another mc?  
i understand targeting ok, but i need a little help here. thanks
