Hi,

Im a beginner at Flash. I made a slideshow from a tutorial, turned it into a template, and made 2 more. Then in a new file I made three buttons with the following action:

on (release) {  
loadMovieNum(“plantoys.swf”, 4);  
}

(the buttons all have the same action, but loading different movies)

This worked perfectly in testing, but when I exported the file after publishing it, it DOESN’T WORK!!! Everything is in the same folder, swf., html. etc  
Do I have to put absolute paths for the files? The strange thing is, when I uploaded my page with the file to server, it looks like the whole field is clickable! Check it out:

Can anyone please help me with this, I’ve been working on this allweek!!  
Thanks.
