    loading a movie on button press

    I'm not really too sure how to go about this. I imported an avi file and flash turned it into an flv file and made an FLVPlayback symbol and stuff and now I want to be able to load up and play that movie on a button press but the code that I have doesn't work. I don't even particularly think it's right.

    Code:
    stop();
    
    function showMovie(linkageId, xpos, ypos) {
        var linkageId :String;
        var xpos:Number;
        var ypos:Number;
        var mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
        mc._x = xpos;
        mc._y = ypos;
    	mc.attachMovie(linkageId,dodge,this.getNextHighestDepth());
    }
    
    btn1.onPress = function(){
    	trace("gotem");
    	showMovie("FLVPlayback",0,0);
    };

    I got it to work by converting the FLVPlayback thing into a movieclip and then linking it to that movie clip. However when I try and allow multiple movies, the next movie I import also gets called FLVPlayBack and they have the same linkage id's and it won't let you change the linkage id of flvplayback so what do I do?

    it doesn't seem to matter about that but something weird is that, I can only get it to load one video. It will load any video but only one of them. I need a way to I guess get rid of whatever just loaded.

    Code:
    btn1.onPress = function(){
    	mc.clear();
    	showMovie("dodge",172,-150);
    };
    This doens't seem to be good enough
