\_root refers to the main timeline of the movie you’re loading it into.  
Therefore doesn’t work anymore.

```auto
btn2.onPress = function() {
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
    loadMovie("i_see.swf", container);
};

```

Next time copy and paste the AS in your thread, is easier for people to work with.

maybe i should explain this a little bit better… so, i have my main file, main.swf… there is a menu in the left, with 3 buttons… if i click the 2nd one (b2), i\_see.swf is loaded in the right side of the main movie (it doesn’t cover the entire space and must not replace the main movie, as it happens if i use your script)… going further now… i\_see.swf is actually my portofolio section… there are thumbnails… if i click one of them, the larger image must be loaded… the loaders work separately, but if i load i\_see.swf in main.swf, then the image doesn’t load in i\_see.swf (which simply dissapears)…  
i tried about all paths possible… both loaders with root, both with this, both with nothing and any other combination… it just doesn’t work

Did you try  
[AS]b4.onPress = function() {  
\_parent.createEmptyMovieClip(“container2”, 2);  
\_parent.container2.loadMovie(“munte.jpg”);  
\_parent.container2.\_x = \_parent.container2.\_y=100;  
};  
[/AS]
