heres the scenario
I have a flash movie… when you click a button it loads an external swf into an empty movie clip. This external swf has buttons in it.
The Problem
The buttons in the loaded swf do not show up with the other content in that swf. It does work all the time on my computer but not when posted on the net.
To see it
go to [http://www.thisislondonclub.com/Data/Thisislondon/index2.asp](http://www.thisislondonclub.com/Data/Thisislondon/index2.asp)
and check out the scrollable menu in the gallery section. When you click on a button in the menu it loads an pictures to the left of it. Buttons are supposed to appear below it. If you click the button a few more times to reload the pics the buttons eventually come back.
This problem can also be seen on another site of mine [www.zephn.com](http://www.zephn.com)
My question is
is this normal?
cheers

ok 6 minutes left to upload… when you see another email from this post go to [www.zephn.com/mocksite.zip](http://www.zephn.com/mocksite.zip)
I’ve stripped out all the unneccesary components and left in the appropriate components in their correct subfolders

I thought you said the buttons would appear locally but not online. They don’t appear when I test it. Are they a separate loadmovie?

you have to extract the whole zip oion to the desktop… then try running it. if you have i don’t know what the problem is… try going into the subfolder in pictures and see what the fla and swf in there do.
