Hi

Right here is the problem (& i’ll try explain the best I can)…

movie 1.fla loads in external swf 1 & 2 into an empty mc via 2 buttons. OK so far?

Good!

Now the main movie.fla loads in movie 1.swf into an empty mc via 1 button. Once movie 1 is loaded into the empty mc the 2 buttons (inside movie 1) dont work.

But If you run movie 1.swf then the 2 buttons work.

WHY IS THIS? Could someone have a look for me cause I am now lost.

Zip file is attached.

Thanks in advance.
