Hello everyone…

I’m having an issues - I went through the forums on this site, especially the “Full Site” forum, and I want to load external SWF’s and it doesn’t seem to be working when I try it on my own. I have a blank movie clip (“container”) on the actions layer at 0,0. I have one button, with the following code:  
on (release) {  
\_\_root.container.loadMovie(“movie.swf”);  
}
