hiya,

i’m calling a function ‘released’ on mouse press:

```auto
mymc.onRelease = released;

```

since i am loading an external .swf (among other things) in my main swf in the ‘released’ function:

```auto
var info:MovieClip = t.createEmptyMovieClip("artistinfo", -16380);
artistinfo.loadMovie("new.swf");

```

i assume i am running into the ‘unexpected behaviour’, happening upon .loadMovie connected with onRelease, mentioned in the help file.  
[refering to “loadMovie (MovieClip.loadMovie-Method)” from the help file.]

what are my options? how can i trigger my function by clicking the mouse on the movie and have no ‘unexpected behaviour’?

info about the ‘unexpected behaviour’ in my thread here:
