I’ve got a strange problem that i’ve never encountered before. I have a index.swf page that i have a menu that loads other .swf’s onto it. For this example, the button loads the music.swf file onto the index.swf Easy, right? Well, when i go to open the music.swf file onto the index.swf page the mp3 doesnt play. However, when i play the music.swf by itself (not loaded onto the index.swf) it works perfectly fine. I’ve uploaded example files to a free server for you all to download and try and check what my problem is. Thanks in advance for all your excellent, professional help.
