Hi everyone, great forum!

A while ago, i created a flash file with a button and attached the componant menu which loaded from an xml file. I now want to load the existing file into a new file as a movieclip using the code below:

```auto
this.createEmptyMovieClip("Main_mc", 999);
loadMovie("OldFile.swf", Main_mc);

```

This loads the old file into the new one exactly as i want, except the menu doesnt come up when i click the button.

I have searched the forum and found what i thought was the solution which was editing all of the \_root directories in the old file.

Im not sure if i did it correctly, but it didnt work and i still dont get the menu.

Any help to sort this problem would be greatly appreciated.
