In Flash, go to File \> New from template. Choose presentation, and then copy their example.

there should be an example of what you want if you go into where you installed flash, just look around in some of the folders.

Send the file to \<deleted address\> and I’ll see what I can do.

(I think I know what your problem is. When you use variables, targets, etc, you need to use “\_root”, because the loaded movie takes on the properties of it’s parent (the one you load it into), including paths.)
