Having problems with externally loaded swfs when in HTML [renamed]

alright.

i’ve got a flash site that uses externally loaded .swfs to change the pages

(i.e. news.swf, shows.swf, merch.swf - that are loaded in when you press the corresponding button)

when i open the main .swf that the external .swf’s are loaded into the site - it opens, animates and runs perfectly.

when i put the .swf into a HTML page (using Dreamweaver) the external movies stop loading at all… when a button is clicked or when AS tells it to load a movie.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

furthermore, there is an eCard that is used for the splash page. it’s been done for weeks and has been online with people viewing it. it works perfectly where it’s been online for the past few weeks AND works fine on my computer.

however NOW that i’m putting it into another HTML page to use it for a different splash page it’s not loading external .swf files either!!! nothing was changed about the eCard, it’s been done for weeks!!!

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

this is all completely new and out of left field. i’ve built SEVERAL flash sites using the exact same configuration and Dreamweaver… and they’ve all been totally fine.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

thanks,

mikey
