I was wondering if you guys could take a look at my .fla and tell me what I’m doing wrong…I have gone over it about a thousand times and I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong…

my goal is to load external .swf files into an empty movieclip called container…

i have attatched the main movie…test.fla.

and i have attatched a sample swf to load…

all the code is in there…just can’t seem to get it working…

if someone could give me a pointer that would be awesome! :sailor:
