do somebody know how I can do if I have a flashmovie that is the skin and into that movie I load two .swf files (one with the menu and one with the start text). Have 2 empty movieclips one called “meny” and the other “main”. but the problem is that when I load the meny externally the actions that i have on the buttons doesn’t work as if I would have the menu in the skinmovie.

I have these action to the info button:

on (release) {  
loadMovie(“info.swf”, main);  
}

and these action work if i have the menu in the skinmovie but no when i load it from a .swf these actions don’t function.

Anyone that know how I could rewrite thes action that it would work?  
Thanks
