Hello,

For a webservice i’m building a website that functions as a shell for certain service, which are loaded externally…The code I use for importing the external swf’s is as follows:

```auto
function loadComponent(swf)
{
	var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swf);
	var loader:Loader = new Loader();
	loader.load(request);
	components_mc.addChild(loader);
}

```

So far so good…the external swf is loaded and functions ok on first glance…However, there is a problem with some buttons…I have a menu with five buttons (blue buttons with a different colour shade). These buttons function well (are accessible) when the swf operates stand alone. When I embed the swf, the top three buttons don’t function properly(are not accessible)…I cant even guess for the reason.

I uploaded the example for the stand alone version and the embedded version:

[stand alone](http://www.m-and-a-explained.com/intent/)  
[embedded](http://www.m-and-a-explained.com/obp/)

In the embedded version click in the menu on: phase 1 \> intent

anybody got any ideas?
