Help needed with flash menu / website question

I recently incorporated this menu : http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials/intermediate/Easing_Menu_System/index.shtml
into my flash website when you click a certain button.
It works fine on it’s own but whenever it loads into the website none of the buttons within the menu work, they don’t move the “action” screen. I also had the same problem when I tried to incorporate a menu that opened another swf file within itself. If someone has any suggestions or any ideas I would appreciate it. thanks
