I’m having some problems with LoadMovie. Whenever I try to load my movie, it won’t show up…

I’m loading it into a target movie clip container thingy, and I did the whole cache-problem solving thingy… but it still won’t show up. I followed Pom’s tutorial on loading movies into movie clip targets.

My FLA is at [http://www.vip3r.com/tmp/basic.fla](http://www.vip3r.com/tmp/basic.fla) , and my page is at [http://www.vip3r.com/index2.html](http://www.vip3r.com/index2.html)

Your FLA file contains two exact same .swf files.

Is this correct?

```auto
myIdentifier = Math.round(Math.random()*10000);
loadMovie("http://www.vip3r.com/flash/home.swf?uniq=" + myIdentifier, "_root.content.contentcontainer");

```

Should be changed to…

```auto
myIdentifier = Math.round(Math.random()*10000);
loadMovie("http://www.vip3r.com/flash/home.swf?uniq=" + myIdentifier, _root.content.contentcontainer);

```

So there are no quotes around the \_root.content.contentcontainer

Um, you have your background set to orange.

When you use loadMovie, the background color of your loaded movie becomes transparent, making it take on the background color of the file you are loading into.

You will have to draw a false background on A)The movie you are loading into or B)The movie that you are loading.
