hello all

the movie can be viewed at [http://leisurelarry.no-ip.info](http://leisurelarry.no-ip.info)

something strange is happening, the buttons to control the movie work fine when I view the swf files in a local browser, however as soon as I put them on a server and view them, the buttons no longer work, other buttons continue to work however, not sure what I am doing wrong

I am loading the movie with this script:

\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);  
loadMovie(“scénario\_10.swf”, “container”);  
container.\_x = 42;  
container.\_y = 150;

once the movie is loaded, I am controlling with this script, for example on the play button:

on (release) {  
container.play();  
}

like I said, all works fine locally…

please, any help would be most appreciated

from what i hear actually, it’s linux servers that don’t like special characters.
