Hello-  
I’ve been racking my brain all night and am about to lose it ☹  
I have a “about.swf” file that loads a CSS file and formats some dynamic HTML text. On its own, it works fine…but when it gets loaded into my “Main.swf”, it doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong? Is there a bug that doesn’t let you load CSS with external .swf’s?

My style sheet and index file holding the “Main.swf” are all on the root level of my site. The “Main.swf” has a “holder\_mc” clip that I load the “about.swf” into which has the CSS formatting. When loaded into “Main.swf”, it doesn’t work. anyone? ☹ please…
