onLoad - createEmptyMovieClip: why does my code not work?

[mojojojo]

I would simply like to load XML text into a newly created MC.

loadText.onLoad = function () {
	_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
	loadText.load("about.txt", "container");
	container._x = 280 ;
	container._y = 100 ;
}
stop();

Thanks.
