first i made an empty movie clip and named it “container”  
and then i made a button…

here’s the code for the button in main movie…

on (release){  
container.loadMovie(“movie1.swf”);  
movie1.play();  
}

then i put stop(); on the first frame of the swf to be loaded…

what i want is to play movie1 by pressing the button in the main movie…
