I’ve been having trouble getting the Flashpaper 2 API to load in a flash movie.

Macromedia has posted this info:

[http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashpaper/2/flashpaper\_api/flashpaper\_api6.html#118562](http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashpaper/2/flashpaper_api/flashpaper_api6.html#118562)

and there is another article with more info as well.

But, I used:

var fp = fp\_mc.getIFlashPaper();  
if (!fp) {  
trace(“step 1”);  
return;  
}else{…

fp\_mc.loadMovie(“test.swf”);

and it _works_ with executables - and on with html documents opened from my computer. Standalone SWFs - however - don’t work.

Any ideas?
