I have a movie clip on my stage, and when you click a button I want to load a movie clip inside of that one from my libary. I know this is a stupid question, but right now mind mind is boggled.

you need to use the attachMovieClip command. I can’t remember what the syntax is off the top of my head, but it’s basically

attachMovieClip(’\<name of clip\>’, \<new name for clip\>, \<depth to attach clip\>);
