I want to put an action on a button that jumps to a new frame, loads a movie (.swf) in that frame, into an empty movie clip, all in one go.

I have used the following on the button but it doesn’t function properley.

on (release) {  
gotoAndPlay(5);  
\_root.mtClip.loadMovie(“test.swf”, 1);  
}

I have made sure that the movie instance is named correctly.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
