Hi,

Sorry for a newbie question. I have a sliding menu. As one of the movies inside the contentHold i want to load an swf. I do this by going into the movie content2 and adding the following code:

```auto

this.clip_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip ("holder", 1);
this.clip_mc.loadMovie("sourceMod.swf");

```

The swf file works perfectly if i launch it separately, but when i try to launch it from the sliding menu all i see is the background of the clip and not the actual content.
