Okay…so this isn’t a basic as the title but I have a question about loading a movie. What I have is a movie with a menu that loads external SWF’s into a Movie Clip Loader on the stage. That works fine, but this is my problem…right now you have to click one of the links to load a movie so when the page first loads there is just a blank white space that only gets filled when a movie is loaded. What I would like to do is have the one of the movie load into the MC holder when the page loads and not waiting for the viewer to click a link.

I had a friend suggest trying the on(load) function but that didn’t work. Here is the code we tried:

```auto

holder.on(load){
     holder.loadMovie("1.swf",1);
}

```

It is something that simple or is there something else that I’m missing? Also is there a way to randomly load any of the movies?
