Hello,  
I want to load an instance into a empty movie clip on my scene1.  
On scene1 I have an empty movie clip empty\_mc. In my library I have a jpeg I converted into a symbol. I through the symbol onto stage1 and gave it an instance name of jpeg\_1. I want the empty Movie clip to load jpeg\_1.  
I thought it was something like this.

stop();

loadMovie(“jpeg\_1”,“empty\_mc”);

Thanks for the help
