[FONT=Arial]Hi,  
I have just created a movie called “Metagardens.fla” and another called “Slideshow1”. I have tested both and I am trying to load “slideshow1.swf” into a movie clip called “container” in “Metagardens.fla” but when I test the movie “Metagardens” I get this error  
Error opening URL “file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Fernando%20Gonzalez/Desktop/meta/slideshow.swf”  
The action script for the loading process is  
on (release) {

```
_root.container.loadMovie("slideshow.swf");

```

}  
I have checked that the image as well as the .swt file is in the directory called"Meta"  
[/FONT] [FONT=Arial]What could be causing this ?

[FONT=Arial]Thanks in advance. [/FONT]
