Hi!  
I don´t know how to handle this:

```auto
on (press) {
  var box = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
  box._x = 150;
  box._y = 100;
  preLoad(box, "loaded.swf"); };

```

> Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler

it´s the line :  
preLoad(box, “loaded.swf”);}
