On the main timeline

//Creating Empty MovieClip  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“holder\_mc”, this.getNextHighestDepth());  
//Create Listener  
var mclListener:Object = new Object();  
//Create MovieClip Loader  
var holder\_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();  
//Add Listener  
this.addListener(mclListener);

holder\_mc.\_x = 0;  
holder\_mc.\_y = 0;

frame 68 of main timeline

this.holder\_mcl.loadClip(“step1.swf”, holder\_mc);

In the step1. swf I have two buttons here is the script

\_parent.mcwireless.btnno.onRelease = function():Void {  
\_parent.addListener(mclListener);  
\_parent.holder\_mcl.loadClip(“step1-1.swf”,holder\_mc);

Step1.swf loads just fine on the main timeline. However I can not load ‘step1-1.swf’ (with a button) to save my life. I thought maybe the scope was wrong but it doesn’t appear to be. Any suggestions?
