I have been trying to load swfs into a another swf using loadMovie (see tutorial “loading external files…” for the general format i used. I had trouble displaying dynamic text but fixed that using embeded fonts… now the problem is this… none of the action script in the sub-swfs seems to work. scroll buttons dont work, setFocus comands etc…

does anyone have any idea why this could be happening…
