Hello,

I am trying to load an external SWF file, for some reason (can’t figure out)  
my code doesn’t work

my code is:

var loader:Loader = new Loader();  
loader.load(new URLRequest());  
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded, false,0,true);

function loaded(evt:Event): void{  
addChild(evt.target.content);

}

name\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadFixMovieClip);

loader.x = 282;  
loader.y = 27;

function loadFixMovieClip (evtObj: MouseEvent):void  
{  
loader.content (“fix.swf”);

}

any ideas would be greatly appreciated
