Hi, \*\*(AS2 - Flash 8 Pro)  
\*\*  
My script on _ **\_level2** _ loads a swf webpage into _ **\_level3** _.  
I also have a script on _ **\_level2** _ main timeline as follows…

**\_level3.returnBtn.onPress=function(){  
loadMovieNum(“NoFile”,3);  
};  
\*\*  
Ive created a button with the correct instance name returnBtn in the swf  
that loads into **\* \_level3\*\*\*. Now after the swf loads correctly into _** \_level3**_ and  
it shows the \*\*\*returnBtn \*\*\*clip. Clicking on it does nothing. But the mouse over  
is being sensed over it which proves the \*\*\*onPress \*\*\*is acting from the lower layer.

When i click this button i just wanted the swf which has loaded into _ **\_level3** _ to be flushed out with nothing. So i gave a non existant file name _ **NoFile.swf** _.

But it does nothing.
