using loadMovie

[boomer]

Okay here it is in detail
Main.swf with 3 scenes
-loader, scene 2
-intro, scene 3
-main, scene 1
(main) has 5 buttons
-home
-about
-media
-awards
-contact
(When you click each button above, the info loads into a panel that is always open on the main )
(media) has 6 buttons
I would like to get each button on mdeia to load external .swf

What I tried without sucess was....
-created empty movieclip symbol on main with instance name
-wrote script for button as follows
on(release){
_root.mtClip.loadMovie("mymovie.swf");
}

when I test movie nothing happens.....
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

if i understand you correct you want 1 swf to open another swf....swf 1 has a btn calling action for swf2,am i correct ..if so then use that code ..




on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.open('filenamehere.swf','win1',' width=800,height=600,top=100,screeny=100,left=100, screenx=100,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no, menubar=no,status=no,directories=no,location=no'); void(0);");
}
