The red marked text is the problem. i don’t know how to load a swf file in a blank (empty) movie clip which a named **contents.** i changed \_blank into \_self but i have to put the menu movie clip over and over again. i even tried with loadMovie, but it has the same result.  
pls, give me a solution!!! there are already two days of head ake. don’t let me die!!!
