I have a movie clip that uses loadMovie to load a .swf into a mc
Within this swf I want to have loadMovie also load another swf into another mc.
In the test player I can do this just fine… however, when I test it live I get nada…
any ideas?

your targets are probably incorrect. i’ve made this mistake before. you’ll probably have to add in some \_parent or \_root to your targets.

Hello and thanks –
believe me I have tried… all the way from \_level0, using \_parent.\_parent permutations and everything…
even tried loadMovieNum and still, works in test player not in HTML page… DOH!
Will keep trying paths but if you know of any other possible issue please let me know…
thanks,
