hey people - need your help. a bit stuck on this.

i’d like to load an external SWF from an external SWF.

i have a flash-movie that uses externally loaded swf’s as the background image.  
i would like to be able to load a second external SWF by clicking inside the first external SWF.

example is here:

[http://www.thehouseofspank.com/html/home.html](http://www.thehouseofspank.com/html/home.html)

if you click on “custo barcelona” the first SWF is loaded. included bottom left is a button “view next photo” that should load a second SWF. but since it is part of the external SWF rather than the original flash file, it doesn’t work.

any ideas on how to make this work?
