Hello,

I am trying to load a swf using the onEnterFrame. this is what I have on the first frame of my main\_swf

onEnterFrame = function (){  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“compass”,1);  
loadMovie (“compass.swf”, compass\_mc);  
}

When I publish I just get a blank swf.

When I just use

loadMovie (“compass.swf”, compass\_mc);  
I have an empty \_mc with the instance name of “compass\_mc”  
I get the swf to load but no animation.

Any pointers?

Thanks
