Hi,
I made a scrolling image gallery following the XML photo gallery tutorial found on this site and it works fine on its own. But when i load the .swf file into another flash file using a holder, it loads but it doesn’t scroll anymore; its just a static image. I tried turning it into a MC and placing the MC into my flash but have the exact same problem. Can anyone explain this to me and how i can fix it. Thank-you!

Details on the script would be nice, either via a post of code or and upload of the current files that you are trying to get to work together. the latter being the easier in regards to someone else figuring out the problem.

even if you got it working its fairly bad practise to have swfs as pages
(I did it once and its a pain… my new site has an MC which is dupilcated and xml read into each one)
