Hey all.

Hope someone can help me out here.

I’m trying to load “example.swf” into “mc1”

Normally this would work:

```auto
loadMovie("example.swf",_root.mc1);

```

But, mc1 is no longer on the main scene, but inside another MC.

How can I deal with this?

Any help would be much appreciated.  
Thanks a lot.
