Hey everyone.

I used the Kirupa Tutorial for Advanced Rollovers to create my navigation menu and within one of the movie clips I have additional buttons that show up on the roll over.

I know that you need to place the onPress code on the frame that the buttons actually live. I have a _trace("mix\_btn: "+mix\_btn);_ to find out if the button is being found.

My problem is that I dont know how to get the code below to actually dynamically load and external SWF into a container on the main timeline. A friend of mine suggested a MovieClipLoader or onLoadInit Handler but I have no idea how to use those. (I’m a noob and proud of it!).

Any suggestions?!!! Ill give someone a prize if they know how to make this happen!!

(this is my latest version of a onPress.)

```auto
mix_btn.onRelease = function() {
    _root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", getNextHighestDepth())
    loadMovie("musicMixes.swf", container);
    container._x = 0 ;
    container._y = 0 ;

```
