Hello,  
I’m having a problem. I went through a tutorial on loading 2 external swf files. I did everything he did, that I know of. Here are the 2 swf files and main fla. What it does is, it doesn’t load anything… When I click on one of the button all it does is give a black flash and nothing shows.
