So I have a menu in my **main movie**. When you click on a button it loads a movie below (we will call this **sub movie** ). Inside **sub movie** I want to have another menu that loads another movie. This just isnt working… is this possible? If I run the **sub movie** in flash it loads additional movies fine… but when I run the **main movie** that loads the **sub movie** … the movie loader in the \*\*sub menu \*\*isnt working.

Here is the loader code for the \*\*main movie  
\*\*on (release) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“members.swf”);  
}  
on (release) {  
gotoAndPlay(1);  
}

Here is the loader code for the **sub movie**  
on (release) {  
\_root.contents2.loadMovie(“nam.swf”);  
}  
on (release) {  
gotoAndPlay(1);  
}

I made sure the root.contents had the variation of “2” so it would not confuse the empty movie clip to load into…
