play a loaded movie clip swf

Hi,

I've got loadMovie working and it loads a movie clip that has a stop(); on the first frame. At a certain frame within my main movie, I want to tell the loaded clip to play();

My symbol is called "load1" without the quotes of course. It's an empty MC and on frame two my movie gets loaded into it. On frame three after a few seconds I have load1.play(); which I figure should work, but it doesn't!

Can anyone tell me if I am doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Stan
