so I have a if loaded statement on my site that checks if a .swf has loaded, and if the .swf has loaded it dosen’t allow it to be loaded over agian if say the same button has been pressed.

```auto

on (release) {
	 {
	if (_root.leftmc._url == "http://www.builtontrust.net/leftinfo/leftinfo.swf") {
		

// don't reload leftinfo.swf 

	} else {

		// load leftinfo.swf 

		_root.leftmc.loadMovie

("http://www.builtontrust.net/leftinfo/leftinfo.swf");
	}
};
}

```

however I have a few buttons in that .swf that will not do anything when that code is used.

I’m lost

use trace(\_root.leftmc.\_url ); on each of them to check what’s happening
