I’m loading an external swf into an empty mc called “emptyMC” on my main timeline. that loaded swf loads another swf into an empty mc called “view2” when a button is pressed. Here is my code…

```auto

on (release) {
loadMovie("tabletennis.swf", "_root.emptyMC.view2");
}

```

the above code isn’t working right. I’m not sure how to target each empty MC in sequence in order for this to work.

Any thoughts?

Thanks. This board has been a great help so far.
