But it does work. Why are you passing zero as your second
parameter? It's a fluke that the first one works at all, since the second
param is supposed to be an object (in this case, a MovieClip reference).

an integer as a second param seems to load the movie into _root
assuming that's an invalid param, _root would be the next one by default to load into.
however, as David said, the second param should be an mc target.

p.s. a long long time ago far far away... i used loadMovie("my.swf",0); too
