Can someone tell me what I am forgetting?

I am trying to load a simlpe external movie. I have a main movie with an empty MC. Upon clicking my button I state to go named frame. On this frame I have the action:  
loadMovie(“question\_01.swf”, \_root.mov\_empty);  
where question\_01.swf is the file I wish to load and mov\_empty is my empty movie clip.

I have attached the problem child. 🙂  
Any insight appreciated.
