heres the page im refferring to before I begin.  
[www.djrfive.com/Ex\_preloader1.html](http://www.djrfive.com/Ex_preloader1.html) \>\> click to the portfolio section.

Now,

I will be loading a movie clip, into a container just to the left of the portfolio elements.

What I want to happen is, in my Loaded MC I want to be able to click on the thumbnail, and in the parent movie clip ( the one you select the portfolio elements from)

I want a Movie clip to fade in on top of everything. but Im having a few errors.

**IN my parent file Ive created and named a blank movie clip \*\*  
\*\*  
the script inside of the satellite MC is :**

on(press){  
\_parent.loadMovie(“enlarged.swf”,“targetmc”);  
}

but it unloads the satellite MC and replaces it with the swf, rather than inserting it in my target movie clip in the parent page.

I cannot use \_root in this instance, and Ive tried adding “\_parent.\_parent”… im at a loss here…
