Loadmovie - simple question about paths??

[reedy2k]

I have the following setup............
A main movie timeline with a movie clip on it> Inside this movieclip is a blank movieclip that I want an external movieclip loaded into when a button (inside clip1) is pressed. On this buton I have:

on (release) {
MovieClip.loadMovie(external.swf,_root.clip1instancename.blankclipinstancename);
}

But this doesnt load the movie. What am I doing wrong, I guess its pretty basic stuff.

Cheers

try:

_root.clip1instancename.blankclipinstancename.loadMovie("external.swf");
