Im trying to get a loader on stage to open external swf files. I have my nav buttons inside of a movieclip but I’m doing something wrong. Here’s the code I have on an actionscript layer inside of the nav movieclip

```auto

var home:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Home.swf");
var project:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Projects.swf");
var about:URLRequest = new URLRequest("About.swf");
var contact:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Contact.swf");

home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openHome);
project_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openProject);
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openAbout);
contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openContact);

function openHome(e:Event):void
{
	stage.myLoader.load(home);
}

function openProject(e:Event):void
{
	stage.myLoader.load(project);
}

function openAbout(e:Event):void
{
	stage.myLoader.load(about);
}

function openContact(e:Event):void
{
	stage.myLoader.load(contact);
}

```
