Okay let me see if I can explain this the best I can. I have Movie1 loaded into the Maintime line and then Movie 1 has a button which calls another movie to load into the Maintime line. I cannot seem to get this loaded right.

Below is the code for my button

on(release) {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“port”, 5)  
loadMovie(“portfolio.swf”, “port”);  
setProperty(“port”, \_x, 100);  
setProperty(“port”, \_y, 20);  
}
