Hi there,

I have a button on the main timeline. I would like to move the main timeline to a frame label called “history” and load and play a movie clip called “slideshow1”.

I have the “gotoAndPlay” code working properly but can’t seem to get the external swf “slideshow1” to load and play.

I’ve inserted the following code into the frame label “history” actionscript.

var myrequest\_history:URLRequest=new URLRequest  
(“[http://floramultimedia.com/musicGarden/main/swfs/slideshow1.swf](http://floramultimedia.com/musicGarden/main/swfs/slideshow1.swf)”);  
var myloader\_history:Loader=new Loader();  
myloader\_history.load(myrequest\_history);  
stage.addChild(myloader\_history);

I get this error message:  
Error opening URL ‘[http://floramultimedia.com/musicGarden/main/swfs/slideshow1.swf](http://floramultimedia.com/musicGarden/main/swfs/slideshow1.swf)’  
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.
