Hey guys,

I really need so help getting buttons in my externally loaded swfs to work. It’s very strange, it’s recognizing a hovercaption action I have on the buttons, but not the action I have in the button. I’m not sure if I explained that well. Here is a link to show you whats up, just click on one of the artist tnails to access an artists page and you’ll see.

anyways, if anyone has had this problem before or knows any solutions I would greatly appreciate it

Thanks - jennifer
