Hello all,
Im loading an external calendar from my navigation into my main movie. The problem is when the movie is loaded into a existing clip on the stage the images inside the external swf wont show up. but if I load the external swf on a level everything works. FYI: Im loading other swf with images inside existing clips that work and also the swf with the problem is loading xml data.
thanks…

Sounds like a path problem problem!

Its not a path issue, everything is in one directory. Like my post says above, if I use the loadMovie command and use a level instead of a clip then it works.
