Hi all. My site is up here: [The Aviators](http://www.theaviators.co.uk/)

The buttons at teh bottom are supposed to load external swfs and do this when I view the main index movie as a swf in the standalone flash player (as opposed to a swf inside a browser) However when inside a browser none of the buttons work.

Any ideas? I thought perhaps problems with teh paths but it doesn’t change when I make them absolute urls either. Maybe something to do with \_root?

Anyway the .fla is [here](http://www.geocities.com/gord_82/Main.fla)

Thanks!
