I am having some troubles for some reason loading another swf file. Here is my code:

\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,1);  
\_root.container.\_x=100;  
\_root.container.\_y=100;  
\_root.container.\_width=400;  
\_root.container.\_height=300;  
\_root.container.loadMovie(“calendar/calendar.swf”);

I have tried different layers for “container”. When I test the movie, it traces what I want, but I can’t see the file when I open the html page.

Files are attached.

Home is the place with the code and the calendar folder has the calendar swf that I am trying to load.

Thanks
