Opening a .swf in a separate window

Question

Can anyone tell me the correct syntax to use when trying to
have an .swf open from a button in the main swf? The button already
has some animation and rollover features and I just wnated to add
that on the mouse release (or down) I want to launch the other swf.
Here's the script but I'm getting this error:
**Error** Symbol=button 2, layer=Layer 3, frame=1:Line 8: '{'
expected
loadMovie(DynaPurge.swf);
Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
Here's the script on the button, the first part has always
worked, it's the launching of the swf that's driving me nuts.
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay(6);
on (press)
loadMovie(DynaPurge.swf);
}

LoadMovie action require second parameter. If you load
content in target movie clip, it needs the
clip name. LoadMovieNum require level number as second
parameter.
Your action is missing the target name and the file itself
needs to be in quotes "", otherwise
it become an expression.
It should be either one of these:
loadMovie("fileName.swf", "MC_holder");
loadMovieNum("fileName.swf", 1);
