Thanks, I figured it out, I had everything set up right, except for some
reason the script needed to be in its own frame, not in the instance of the
MC like I thought.

I don't know SWfx at all, but can't you just import it at design time
(file-->import)? If it uses actionscript, then you probably can't but
for any other MC it should be okay.
If you must import it at runtime, I think your syntax looks okay. I
would guess that maybe you didn't name your instance. That's the
most common mistake. Your symbol is named emptyMCinstance
but did you also place it on the stage and name the instance that
you placed on the stage?
The only other possibility I can think of, is that Flash can't find the
SWF file, but you should get an error when running it in the Flash
environment (Error opening URL...).
