I hope someone can please help me, this is a simple little problem, but I haven’t done this before, so…

I’m using an external swf within my main swf (my site) to play music… And it works fine when I test the site offline. But I uploaded it and it’s not working on the web.

So I’m thinking it has to do with the path?

Do I have to specify what folder it’s in, if it’s already in the same folder as the main swf?

Here is the code I have in actions in frame 1:  
[INDENT]ifFrameLoaded (1) {loadMovie(“musicbox.swf”, “host”);  
}[/INDENT]  
Like I said, it works offline, just not on the web.

I’ve been working on the sound issues all day, I just want to get it to work, before I go to bed! :crying:

Thanks in advance. 🙂
