hi,  
i’m facing a problem with loadMovieNum, when i try to load an external swf into my swf hold.

here’s the code:  
loadMovieNum(“postal\_teste\_001.swf”, 1);

and when i test it locally (in flash environment) or if i execute the swf in the windows explorer, it works great.

But when i embed the swf in an html page, the loaded swf doesn’t appear!

any hint?  
thanxs in advance.

hi,  
apparently i resolved the problem with absolute path to the loaded swf in the swf host.

I think that was happening 'cause the html file was in another folder than the swf’s. Now works ok!

Could that be the reason?

thanxs anyway for your support.
