School boy error

[law78]

Hi people,

Ok there is a problem which I can't seem to put right:

I have a movie clip which has sublinks contained on the movie's (instance name = click1_mc) timeline. I am trying to get the sublink button to open up an external swf file into an empty movie clip located on the main timeline (instance name emtpy_mc). The code which I have attached to the button (and I have tried 101 different sets of code) is:

on(press){
_root.loadMovie("who.swf", empty_mc);
}


The external file (who.swf) is placed withing the same folder as the main swf file, I just can't figure it out.....

Any Ideas?
Thanks

Instead of this:

on(press){
    _root.loadMovie("who.swf", empty_mc);
}

try this:

on(press) {
	loadMovie("who.swf",_root.empty_mc);
}

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

Or

on(press) {
    _root.empty_mc.loadMovie("who.swf");
}
