how’s it goin’?

I’ve been having trouble accessing sound objects that are located in an external swf. Essentially I’ve generated the sound objects in actionscript so that I don’t have to link and create movie clips etc - the sound objects are now loaded into an associative array… The code is similar to

[http://www.sonify.org/home/feature/…tesoundobjects/](http://www.sonify.org/home/feature/remixology/018_generatesoundobjects/)

It plays fine in it’s own swf, but as soon as I loadMovie() this swf into another one, my sounds are not playing - nor can I refer to them. How would I go about and access these sounds?? If ya’ll have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks
