Loadmovie not working

Question

Hello,
I'm new to flash and am having alot of trouble getting the
load movie action to work. Everything I've been reading suggests
that what I'm doing should work. The main .swf and the
slidingnav.swf that I want loaded on top are in the same folder on
my local network. I have the load movie action on the 1st frame of
my main.swf
I've tried the following:
loadMovie(slidingnav.swf,2);
and...
loadMovieNum(slidingnav.swf,2);
Any problems with that code?
I dont get any errors but when I test the movie or open
main.swf, slidingnav.swf does not show up. I thought it could have
something to do with the local plaback security in the publish
settings but that didn't help. Its as if there is a file path
problem but all the .flas and .swf files ar ein the same folder on
the network.
Please let me know if you have any ideas or need more info.
thanks

It is loading those swfs.. (check your cache and you will
see). The problem is that once you load something into level2, you
cannot
see the swf that loads into level1 below it later.
Either load everything into the same level or hide the one
that blocks the view of the one below. Another way is to use
movieclips
and swapDepths to put the one of interest at the highest
depth.
