the only problem I see is you use this code

on (release) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“brain.swf”);  
}

I dont get the point of that \_root.contents if I lood an movie into another I just do loadMovie(“brain.swf”); or loadMovieNum(“brain.swf”); if I want to load it Transparent into the movie I do alrady see, so the visible part of movie 2 loads over movie 1 but you stil can see parts of movie 1:)

But you need a level or a mc to load in…😉

You have reference to \_root in the second movie, \_root refers to the main timeline, as soon as you load movie2 in movie 1, the main timeline is movie 1’s timeline and the path is no longer correct  
Skip the \_root

```auto
on (release) {
	contents.loadMovie("nervous.swf");
}

```

will work.
