Hi,

is there any reason for this AS not to work. I have checked and double checked and cant find a reason.

on (release) {  
\_parent.loadMovie(“thoughts.swf”, “theClip1”)  
}

I have used \_root also just to check and what happens with both is that the swf is loaded but not into the target “theClip1”, It takes over the whole screen.

GRRRR!!!

Any help will be gratefully received.
