As the title says, I’m working with Flash8.

I have ‘main.swf’ with AS on the first frame to load 3 empty MC:

```auto
_root.header.loadMovie("header.swf", "header");
_root.menu.loadMovie("menu.swf", "menu");
_root.content.loadMovie("profile.swf", "content");

```

The swf’s load fine, except none of the text gets displayed and none of the animations will play…

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
