Actionscript Error!

[kmsmith2]

hey everyone, i'm attempting to build a site in flash cs3, but i'm having a few problems.

i have my index .fla file with a container built into it. i'm trying to link an swf file into the container using the instance name "container", but i can't seem to get the script right. i want it to load on release of a button.

this is what i think it shoule be, but it's wrong

on (release) {
loadMovie("contact.swf")
}
the swf is contact.swf. trying to put it into an empty movie clip with an instance name of container. hopefully i explained it well enough for someone to help me!

thanks for your time

You don't have anything telling it to load into container. Assuming this actionscript is associated with a button in a navigation or something like that, which then loads the content into a movie clip, this has worked for as long as I can remember.

on(release){
container.loadMovie("contact.swf");
}

I'm not using CS3 yet so I can't test this, it does work in Flash 8 (Published for Player 8, ActionScript 2).
