How can I load an external .swf movie inside an external .swf? I have a main.swf flash file that loads a player.swf, and i want that player.swf to load another external movie.swf! Inside the player swf I have a scrollpane that scrolls a movie which holds the buttons that control the loading of the 3rd external file.

Can I do that? (It’s the first time I tried to do it)  
This is the actionscript I used:

“on (release) {  
tellTarget (”\_level0.player") {  
gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
}"

Thank you.
