[size=3][font=Times New Roman]I am a teacher am currently teaching basic flashMX actionscript to Year 10 boys.[/font][/size]

[font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font]

[size=3][font=Times New Roman]I wanted the students to present their “portfolio” in an actionscripted movie with buttons. Each button would load one of their _.swf_ files into an empty movieclip symbol, all loaded on the same level. They were to place a frame (eg television screen) around their loaded _.swf_ movies[/font][/size]

[font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font]

[size=3][font=Times New Roman]My problem is that not all of the movies that are loaded into the empty movieclip symbol will work properly. For example, some simple button actionscript and some getproperty actionscript will work, but droptarget and hittest will not work.[/font][/size]

[size=3][font=Times New Roman]Any advice would be appreciated.[/font][/size]
