hey!

I’m having trouble controling my loaded movie! I’m using the following code to load my movie:

```auto
	_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
	loadMovie("loader.swf", "container");
	container._x = 10 ;
	container._y = 6 ;

```

inside the loader.swf there is a MC with an instance name of “cool” - thats the movieclip I wan’t to control with a button from inside my main movie!

I have the following button inside my main movie:

```auto
on (release) {
	_parent.cool.gotoAndPlay("next");
}

```

…but it wont play the movie, whats worng with the button code!?
