</div>

is that on a movieClip - that action? I don’t have flash at work. I think you need an event handler like:

```auto

onClipEvent(load){
loadMovie("home2.swf");
}

```

i tried that as well but this what the debugger gave back:

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 1: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances  
onClipEvent(load){

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 2: Wrong number of parameters; loadMovie requires between 2 and 3.  
loadMovie(“home2.swf”);

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler  
onClipEvent(load){

Here you go 🙂 It wasn’t working because you didn’t specify in which movieclip to load the SWF (so I created one in the layer “loader”) and because you used onClipEvent on a button. onClipEvent is only for movie clips (hence on **Clip** Event :))

I’m confused … isn’t that what you wanted ? You want home.swf to stop at the first frame when you click the Home button ?
