In scene 1 I have 2 MC´s. In Mc1 I have a button. When  
clicked I want to load a external SWF into a MC called LOAD,  
which is located in MC2.

My current code on the button (cant figure out to write the right path !)

on (release) {  
MC2/LOAD.loadMovie(“Ericsson\_2004ad.swf”);  
}

How should the path be ?

(Anybody having a URL that explains path´s ?)  
Thanks in Advice !

Try

```auto
_root.mc2.loadMovie(...);

```

And there’s something about pathing in the AS tricks, but I wrote that and I should not be trusted when I write in English.

Howdy…

I think you can use  
\_level0.MC2.LOAD.loadMovie(“Ericsson\_2004ad.swf”);
