Flash MX: Load to container question

ok so when I load a clip to a container it should overwrite that movieclip in favor of the new one. I’ve been going over the path tuts on various sites as well as variables (not sure if that would be better) so I’m still using _root instead of _global.
Could the problem be putting more containers inside the main container on the main stage? I have to position things in different areas so that’s why i have several containers.

_root.[color=blue]container1[/color].[color=darkred]container2[/color].loadMovie(“mav101.swf”)

I’m have buttons that load one movie clip that controls another movieclip to load into a container on the main stage. they load but they wont overwrite each other. so they all wind up on the stage area together. maybe a paths problem?

If you are loading the movie to the same container clip the previous clip should be getting overwritten since Flash doesn’t allow 2 clips to be loaded/attached to the same clip or level at the same time. It might be a paths problem, but I dont know. I would need more detail as to the situation and the code being used.
