Includes the swf extention. Well when I load a movie I usually use the following commands:

[font=Courier New][color=navy]createEmptyMovieClip[/color]([color=blue]“target”[/color], 1);  
[color=navy]loadMovie[/color]([color=blue]“myMovie.swf”[/color], [color=blue]“target”[/color]);  
target.[color=navy]\_x[/color] = 50;  
target.[color=navy]\_y[/color] = 50;[/font]

OR ELSE if in a new window

[font=Courier New][color=navy]loadMovieNum[/color]([color=blue]“myMovie.swf”[/color], 0);[/font]

I hope the above helps you 🙂

thx 4 replay but i wanted to display a text : “movie-1.swf” inside of the movie-1.swf  
(it is the same movie - it is its own file name) but not writed directly by me from keyboard but writed by script so if i change file nami it will be updated automaticly
