I’m about to lose it here.  
I have a main movie that loads an external swf (contact.swf) with some input fields.  
This used to work fine.  
Now, when I test the contact.swf, I can type in the fields, but when I load it through the main movie (through an empty movie clip), I’m unable to type at all. As test, I created a new movie and loaded the contact.swf into it, and I can type in there also.

I’ve made a lot of changes tonight, including adding a preloader, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what’s causing this.

I would really appreciate any help. My brain is fried, and it’s completely possible I’ve missed something simple.

You can download the .flas here:

The contact movie is loaded by clicking the “contact” button in the main movie.

Thanks in advance.
