My _root 0r _parent is not working

programming flash

I’m confused because in my main movie “interface.swf”, there is a button that plays a movieClip I call “sub_navigation”. Now under “sub_navigation” are four buttons that is suppose to load extern movies in the main clip thru the empty container.


btn_winningphotos.onRelease = function() {
	_root.movieTarget.loadMovie("swf/winningphotos.swf");
};

I made sure that my empty container is within the FRAME where the AS is being called. I have replaced _root with _parent and still I can’t get to load the external movie :frowning:
