simple loadMovie question

[abound media]

I dont get it, this isnt even a complicated thing to accomplish. I am trying to load a MC into a holder.

on (release) {
function loadSWF() {
loadMovie("flash/pools.swf", "holder");
}
}

its under "portfolio" and the holder is above the buttons in the open space. Any clue why the movies arent loading on release??

First of all, if you have the swf you're loading in a different folder from you main movie, it won't work. Try this:

on (release) {
loadMovie("pools.swf", _root.holder);
}

If holder is the name of your container MC.

Thanks for the reply

its in the same folder and when I try your script it just reloads the whole site.

This shouldnt be this much of a PITA

The swf you're trying to load is called pools.swf, and the empty movie clip you're putting it into is holder, right? And holder is in your main movie? Is there anyway you couldpost your fla?

it dependant on where your code is.....
if it's on the clipreplace "holder" with "this".
if it's on a key frame
loadMovie("flash/pools.swf", "holder");
should be
holder.loadMovie("pools.swf"); while testing localy and
holder.loadMovie("flash/pools.swf"); on your server

remember I could be wrong
