For movie clips that are buttons, can I reference a blank movie clip on the stage named “movies” and load an external swf with this? …

```auto
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
	_root.movies.loadMovie("http://www.havelockramsreunion.net/1994/elias/movies/class.swf");
}

```

Because I seem to be having some problems loading the swf progressively which has an inbedded movie (FLV).  
Thanks everyone.
