ok - I am very new to all of this

so to explain as best I can - I have a child.swf (daypre.swf) loading into a parent.swf (contiki.swf).  
The child.swf has hover captions. These display fine when I view the child.swf independently - but when it is loaded into the parent only the hover artwork runs and not the text!  
I have used the kirupa hover caption [tutorial](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/captions.htm).exactly!

can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong?
