That is the site in question.
It is done with the loadMovie thing in the topleft corner of the ‘TV screen’. The coding on the page is as follows
> \_root.contents.loadMovie(“page.swf”)
> well, on the home page, on the right side I have a ‘promo’ type thing. So I put in another ‘loadMovie’ on the actual home.swf, linking to a seperate file (so that i can easily change what is there, without having to actually edit several layers on the home.swf page.
the coding on the home page is as follows
> \_root.promo.loadMovie(“promo.swf”)
> now. When viewing the ‘home.swf’ page on it’s own everything works. However when I attempt to view the ‘home’ page through the actual site it does not work. I know I read someone talking about layers a long while back, and I thought maybe that is what I needed, and it was some different coding?
Please help me, because I don’t know what to do…

\_root.contents.loadMovie(“page.swf”)
In the page.swf make a movie and call it "box"
you can delete everything in it so that it is clear.
loadMovie(“promo.swf”,\_root.box);
The should load the promo.swf in the position where you have box.
Hope that helps ?
