I am loading an external swf into a target mc. the external swf is the xml slide show from the kirupa tutorials. the xml text shows up, but no pics. what’s up?

when i run the slide show by itself it works fine, but when its loaded into the target mc i see the slideshow frame but no pics… is this a problem with the root levels?

any help would be much appreciated.
