I've been trying to get this to work:

createEmptyMovieClip(loadbox,this.getNextHighestDe pth());
loadbox._x=400;
loadbox._y=300;
and i tried that liek this:
createEmptyMovieClip(loadbox,this.getNextHighestDe pth());
loadbox._x=400;
loadbox._y=300;
loadMovie("loadbox_mc","loadbox");


But I can't seem to find anything on the internet, and I can't thin kof anythign that works...

that last line confuses me.... are you loading a mc into the mc you just created? is the mc (loadbox_mc) in your library? if so you could just attach it.

heh. sorry bad habit... i should not give you alternate code...just answer the question.

try this:

var loadmovie=this.createEmptyMovieClip("loadmovie",this.getNextHighestDepth());

when you create the movieclip... the first argument needs to be a string (so in quotes("")
