loadMovie(); is a global method, so it’s syntax follows like so

on (release) {  
loadMovie(fileName,location);  
}

so

on (release) {  
loadMovie(“extensions.swf”,\_root.contents);  
}

PS - nice sig. Did I send you the source code for that? Not that it matters… just wondering where it came from and I can’t remember giving it out.
