Hello

I am trying to load a movie clip A(track1.swf) into movieClip B(audioclip). Movieclip A is made up of a a media playback component playing an mp3 in it! Movie ClipA is sitting in the same folder with this file. I am calling Movie clip A using a circle button I took from the library using the following code -

on (release) {  
loadMovie(“track1.swf”,audioclip);  
}  
on (releaseOutside) {  
unloadMovie(audioclip);  
}

This works fine when testing the movie, but when I try to view it in html, movieclip A does not show. I thought I was targeting wrongly but I am convinced otherwise because the files reside in the same folder .  
Is there anything I am doing wrong.

Help!:pa:

You have to make the loading relative to to the HTML file. SO if the top directory contains your HTML file, and your flash is located in “/flash/movieClipA.swf” then you need to put "/flash/movieClipA.swf for the path to the load. It won’t work in the Flash debugger, but then try the HTML page and every thing will be ok…just a crazy quark of Flash.
