i have a small problem with loading a random swf into a html page. i have a script that works in that it will load one of 4 different swf files into a html page the only drawback is that the hittests within that movie then dont work. anyone have any suggestions, any help would be apreciated.

thanks a lot

the script that im using at the moment is

filename = ["…swf", “…swf”, “…swf”, “…swf”];  
//the files that i want to randomly load  
path = “[http://www.smoking-monkey.net](http://www.smoking-monkey.net)”;  
//where the files are  
i = filename.length;  
k = Math.floor(Math.random()\*i);  
getURL(path+filename[k], movieTarget);

//all that is on a frame with a movieclip named movieTarget on the stage
