I have 2 swf… and it just deosn’t want to work, the Receiver is supposed to play a video…am i missing something?

Sender:

```auto

[LEFT]buttonsLC = new LocalConnection(); 
b_005.onRelease = function() {
[LEFT] buttonsLC.send("lcMovBtn", "methodToExcecute");  
}[/LEFT]
     [/LEFT]
   

```

Receiver:

```auto

[LEFT]movieLC = new LocalConnection(); 
movieLC.methodToExcecute = function () {
[LEFT] _root.movieHolder.loadMovie("topRight.swf"); 
}
movieLC.connect("lcMovBtn");
[/LEFT]
   [/LEFT]
   

```
