Hey.  
Im loading in a movie from some external source, which works fine…  
If i play the movieclip i load in by itself it works fine and plays its animation.

However the movie does not play once its been loaded…

even when i try to make it play by

movicelipcontainer.gotoAndPlay(1);

any suggestions?
