i have an external swf which i import into my main swf using the loadMovie command. my external swf has some tween class animations in it. if i run the main movie, the external swf movie runs fine of course…but the tween classes are not loaded. am i missing somthing?

here is the code from the external swf file which is applied to a clickable movie clip of course.

\*\*this.onRollOver = function() {  
rewind = false;  
play();  
var squaretween = new mx.transitions.Tween(previewthumb, “\_xscale”, mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut, 0, 1200, .5, true);  
var squaretween = new mx.transitions.Tween(previewthumb, “\_yscale”, mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut, 0, 1200, .5, true);  
squaretween.onMotionFinished = function() {  
loadMovie(“hotairlarge.swf”, “\_root.homecontainer.printworkcontainer”);  
}  
};

\*\*any help would be great!
