I’m working on a pure flash website and it works with external swfs, so on the start it should load one of them too without someone using the navigation (the start page), so I thought I could use the following actionscript on one of the frames from my actions layer:

```auto
this.01.loadMovie("start_01.swf");

```

or

```auto
_root.01.loadMovie("start_01.swf");

```

but I always get this error:

> **Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=actions, frame=15:Line 1: Syntax error.  
> this.01.loadMovie(“start\_01.swf”);

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

allthough I’ve checked a couple of times I do have an empty movieclip with the instance name “01”. can someone help me out?
