Hello,  
I am trying to load and mp3 player swf that uses components (and a php file), into my main flash movie. It loads but none of the components work, i.e the combo box does not drop down. I tested the file on its own in a browser and it works fine, but not when I use loadMovie to load it into my main flash movie. Any help would be appreciated.

I would just build the mp3 player in my main movie but I read in the help files that components have to be in frame 1 in order to work. This sounds extremly limiting so I know there has to be a way around that.

Thanks
