Hi I’m having problems loading movies from a sub menu.  
Basically I have a primary navigation and secondary or nested menu  
on one menu item. The following load movie script works fine on the primary menu on the root:

about\_mc.onRelease = function() {  
createEmptyMovieClip(“container2”, 1);  
loadMovie(“about2.swf”, “container2”);  
container2.\_x = 0;  
container2.\_y = 0;  
};

However I’m using the following script on the nested menu item and it refuses to work:

on (release) {  
\_parent.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);  
loadMovie(“about.swf”, “container”);  
container.\_x = 0;  
container.\_y = 0;  
}

I don’t think its a targeting issue as I have tested it with other functions and it works I just think there might be a issue withe container name or something.  
Has anyone got an idea or solution :h:
