Loadmovie vs. MovieClipLoader

[juls034]

I have a flash document in which I'd like to add external swf files that would ideally open in a rectangle shaped movie clip ("myContainer") later in the timeline. I have 6 individual buttons set up so that they take you to the cooresponding movie clip and play them. I have 6 movies total. I've tried using the loadmovie function, but it keeps giving me an error about not being able to locate my file even though the path is correct. Should I be using a different script?

Here's the script I'm using:

loadMovie("Desktop/Movies/CHOPFolder/CHOP_skin.swf", "myContainer");

Here's the error I'm getting:

Error opening URL 'file:///Macintosh%20HD/Users/palinkas/Desktop/Desktop/Movies/CHOPFolder/CHOP_skin.swf'
