Hello again good folks!

I’ve got an empty MC called “picture”.  
This MC has the following path:

```auto
_root.container.picture

```

So, it’s an external SWF ([color=Blue]photography.swf[/color]) loaded in thru the container MC.  
When I make button at the first frame of [color=Blue]photography.swf[/color] everything works fine. BUT, when I place the same button inside a MC (called “allphotos”) I cannot get this to work.

I use he following code for the button:

```auto
tb1.onRelease = function() {
	 _root.container.picture.loadMovie(image[6],6);
	 gotoAndStop(1);
}

```

It seems to “semi-work”, because it loads blank. So at least the current photos disapears.

What am I doing wrong? I’ve used \_parent, \_level0 etc. Nothing.  
PLEASE help me out 🙂
