I am trying to load a movie into an instance of “empty\_mc” in Scene 3 of my application using the following code, but nothing happens. Can somebody see what I’m doing wrong here…

The code is as follows:

on (release) {  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“empty\_mc”, 5);  
empty\_mc.\_x = empty\_mc.\_y = 50;  
empty\_mc.loadMovie(“FraninIraq.swf”);  
}
