Hey I seriously need help.  
I have a project due tomorrow and I’m a bit suck ☹

Basically What I have is…

A index.swf that has a content\_holder movieclip

content\_holder then loads an external moveclip within conent/content\_home.swf.

```auto
loadMovie("content/content_home.swf", _root.content_holder);
stop();

```

Withthin content\_home.swf I have another placeholder named feature\_holder. This loads home/feature.swf within itself

```auto
loadMovie("home/feature.swf", _root.feature_holder);
stop();

```

Basically what happens is…  
When I run index.swf it loads the content\_home.swf but then the content\_home.swf does not load the feature.swf.

If I run content\_home.swf by itself it **DOES** load feature.swf so I know the linking is right but whenever I run it from index.swf it won’t work D:

please help ☹
