I am trying to load an external swf into a movie clip.

Within my index.swf file I have a button that when released loads another swf into a movie clip within the index.swf. I have done this before and have no idea why it is not working. When I publish the movie I get no error reports.

Here is the script:

on (release) {

\_parent.\_parent.\_parent.contents.loadMovie(“apache.swf”);

}

All swf files are within the same folder on the server as well. Thanks for any help.
