What do you mean "stands above"? Do you mean it's in a higher directory?

"../" will go up one directory. So this.loadMovie("../external.swf") will look in the directory above the main movie for "external.swf".

Or did you mean something else entirely?

are you loading your movie into a target movie clip? or into a level?

if you are using loadMovieNum("mymovie.swf",1); you are loading into a level. all levels will be loaded on top of your main level (_level0).
if you are using:
loadMovie("mymovie.swf","mytargetclip");
//(not sure about syntax here) or
mytargetclip.loadMovie("mymovie.swf");

then you are loading into a target movie clip.

personally i prefer the second, altho there are many who prefer the first.
with the second i find i can more easily manipulate the position/properties of the loaded movie. just my preference tho.
if you post your file here, i'm sure some one will give you a hand.
