I have a movie that is loading an external swf via loadMovie:

[AS]  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“quiz\_holder”, this.getNextHighestDepth());  
quiz\_holder.\_x = 13;  
quiz\_holder.\_y = 13;

quizbtn.onRelease = function() {  
quiz\_holder.loadMovie(“quiz.swf”);  
}  
[/AS]

When I load it, it loads and plays the first scene after that nothing on the external swf works. I attached the external swf so you guys can see how it was built…It was built using scenes unfortunatly (I didn’t build it) and I think that might be why. Any explanations?
