i have made this mc and when you click on it, it loads an external mc (\_root.blank3.loadMovie(“mc.swf”)

Here is the actionscript when clicked on:

[AS]  
onClipEvent (enterFrame)  
{  
var speed = 4;  
var viscosity = 1.300000;  
difference = whld3 - this.\_width;  
xvelocity = (xvelocity + difference / speed) / viscosity;  
this.\_width = this.\_width + xvelocity;  
difference = hhld3 - this.\_height;  
yvelocity = (yvelocity + difference / speed) / viscosity;  
this.\_height = this.\_height + yvelocity;  
}

on (rollOver)  
{  
if (oneup == “no”)  
{  
\_global.whld1 = 143.200000;  
\_global.hhld1 = 87.500000;  
\_root.b1.\_x = xhld1;  
\_global.whld2 = 143.200000;  
\_global.hhld2 = 87.500000;  
\_root.b2.\_x = xhld2;  
\_global.whld3 = 143.200000;  
\_global.hhld3 = 87.500000;  
\_root.b3.\_x = xhld3;  
\_global.whld4 = 143.200000;  
\_global.hhld4 = 87.500000;  
\_root.b4.\_x = xhld4;  
\_global.whld5 = 143.200000;  
\_global.hhld5 = 87.500000;  
\_root.b5.\_x = xhld5;  
\_global.xhld = xhldog;  
if (last == “b1”)  
{  
\_root.nav1.gotoAndPlay(16);  
}  
else if (last == “b2”)  
{  
\_root.nav2.gotoAndPlay(16);  
}  
else if (last == “b4”)  
{  
\_root.nav4.gotoAndPlay(16);  
}  
else if (last == “b5”)  
{  
\_root.nav5.gotoAndPlay(16);  
} // end if  
\_global.last = “b3”;  
\_root.nav3.gotoAndPlay(2);  
\_global.whld3 = 163.200000;  
\_global.hhld3 = 107.500000;  
\_global.whld2 = 123.200000;  
\_root.b2.\_x = 239.600000;  
\_global.whld4 = 123.200000;  
\_root.b4.\_x = 528.100000;  
} // end if  
}

on (release)  
{  
if (oneup == “no”)  
{  
\_global.whld3 = 183.200000;  
\_global.hhld3 = 307.500000;  
\_global.whld2 = 103.200000;  
\_global.whld4 = 103.200000;  
\_root.nav3.gotoAndPlay(16);  
\*\* \_root.blank3.loadMovie(“mc.swf”);\*\*  
\_root.blank3.\_alpha = 100;  
\_global.oneup = “yes3”;  
} // end if  
}  
[/AS]

But when you click, nothing happens. The external mc doesn’t appear or seem to load. Whats wrong? Do I need to specify more specifically like a url? (eg. [http://www.sgroove.com/mc.swf](http://www.sgroove.com/mc.swf))
