Ugh, I thought I figured this concept out already, but for some reason, this thing I’m trying to do is not working. Am I breaking a AS rule here? I have a button inside a movie clip. The button, when clicked is supposed to move the main timeline to a point labeled “plus”. And then a movie clip loader on the main timeline with the instance name “contents” is supposed to load “photographyplus.swf”. This is the code assigned to the button which is in a movie clip with an instance name “main”:

on (press) {  
\_root.gotoAndStop(“plus”);  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“photographyplus.swf”);  
}

Am I overlooking something? Dunno. Tried everything. Hmmm. Just when I thought I had gotten somewhere…
