I created a slide show from the tutorial on the site. Although, my buttons are on a different (above) layer from the pictures. When i publish the fla file, it looks perfect. Now im using this swf file as a page in my main site, but it omits my buttons! its the exact size it needs to be to fit in the site, and i see the spot where the buttons should be, but its not rendering!  
see for yourself:

-go to smile gallery  
-it shows the first pic  
now go to same site except to view the swf file, its smilegallery.swf  
so …/flash/smilegallery.swf  
works fine (though bigger than it should be)  
ideas suggestions?  
ive tried the following:  
making the movie container the exact size of the .jpgs  
making the movie container no size  
putting all the other layers above the movie container layer
