Hi guys,  
I have been using the tutorial on loading external swf files with transitions, and when I test the file it all works fine. Also when I load just the Main Movie file using the flash viewer it is still fine.

However when I try to test it in IE or Safari non of the swf’s will load. They are all in the same folder.

You can see the start of the site here: [recreation test site](http://www.slamdunkdesign.co.uk/testsite/index.html)

If anyone has time could they take a look at the source file that I have uploaded here?

Many thanks for the great tutorials too.

Its OK - I’ve solved the problem.  
the index.html file needed to be in the same file! So simple 🙂
