Hello I having trouble using the instruction loadMovie with Internet Explorer 6, the problem is that the loadMovie just doesn’t work when I test my html file in Internet explorer but it works great when is tested don firefox or in flash cs3 environment.  
This is what I have

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]this.onLoad = function (){[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=RoyalBlue]loadMovie(“source”,\_root.target); [/COLOR]  
[COLOR=RoyalBlue]};[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=DarkOrange]  
[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=DarkOrange]//source = movie2.swf  
//target = \_root.container\_mc[/COLOR]

Note: everything works fine unless you use explorer to view the html file.

Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me out
