I have created a scrolling image directory with buttons that load an externel  
swf. I had to duplicate the buttons to create the scrolling effect but the duplicate buttons dont respond to the “loadMovieNum” actionscript??

The fla is 365kb so I can’t post it but here this the link to the page with the directory.

If there is a better way to code the buttons a diffent method to get the directory to work, please let me know. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help steer me in the right direction.
