Hey everyone, I have a pretty simple script that is not working for me. Basically, I have a movie clip on the main stage of my FLA, and I want to load a swf into it when the movie loads. I am eventually going to have random movies load into it every time it loads, but for now I just have the one. My code is this:

```auto

onClipEvent (load) {
    loadMovie("movie.swf", "holder");
}

```

The script is attached to the actual movie clip, and its instance name is “holder”. When I view this movie with this scrip, nothing happens.

Any help would be great. I am on Windows XP Professional SP 2 if that makes any difference, though I am not sure why it would. Thanks all -
