OK, I have three separate .swf files:

index.swf (the main movie)  
audioPanel.swf (for my audio panel)  
playList.swf (for the actual playlist)

From index, I load audioPanel

And in audioPanel,. whenever someone clicks ‘select track’, I attempt to load playList by doing: \_root.playList.loadMovie( “playList.swf” );

But I do not see the movie being loaded in the index.swf animation. I’m sure it has to do with the “\_root”, but I am not sure since I am new in Flash.

Please help 🙂
