I have a movie called collectiongallery.swf that works on its own, I wanted to load it into a movie called collection.swf using a holder container movieclip that is on frame 22.

collectiongallery.swf works on its own when i load it but doesnt load when collection.swf is loaded up.

here is the code i use to call the movie in:

\_root.currMovie = “collectiongallery”;  
gallery.loadMovie(this.currMovie+".swf");

any suggestions?
