i’m trying to get an external MC to load at a certain spot on my main swf when they press the “Home” button. i use to have it so it would go to a transition mc and it would trigger it but i want to do it differently now. i want to do it so that when they press the “Home” button it triggers a function. i’m bad at writing functions as of right now. can anyone tell me what is wrong with what i’ve got

function LoadEx(){  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“myMc”, this.getNextHighestDepth());  
myMc.\_x = 0;  
myMc.\_y = 0;  
myMc.loadMovie(\_root.section);  
}

//Buttons  
h1.onRelease = function() {  
if (\_root.section != “HomePage.swf”) {  
\_root.section = “HomePage.swf”;  
loadEx();  
}}

any help appreciated
