loading a movie by a button on a previous frame

[ajoo]

Hi all,

I am unable to resolve the following issue:-

I have a main movie which loads another swf by using a button. The button is on a frame (25) prior to the frame (26) that holds the movie clip into which the swf is to be loaded.

If I add this line of code

loadMovie("split_word.swf",holder_mc);

directly on the frame where the holder_mc is located then it works fine. However, if I put it in a button on a previous frame and want to invoke it on a button press the movie does not load.

How can I target the holder_mc from a frame other than on which it is loacted.

Thanks.
