I am wondering if I possibly set this movie to load every 2 seconds rather than loading into my main movie after 2 seconds. I thought I was using the interval functions properly but my movie (ebs.swf) just keeps loading over and over…even with the stop. This follows 3 previous uses of set interval which are all working fine, though they are also fading in instead of just loading. I will compare it to those again to see what I am missing or doing wrong, but anyway here is the code:

```auto
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("holder5", 9999);
holder5._x = 300;
holder5._y = 400;
function loadIn4(){
	loadMovie("ebs.swf",_root.holder5);
}
load4interval =setInterval(loadIn4,2000);
stop();

```
