Mixing 2 tuts problems, swf in swf

[font=Comic Sans MS]I’m trying to mix two tuts in one movie. They are:

  1. http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm (a photo gallery w/ forward-back buttons) FARM.swf
  2. http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm (a front for the photo gallery w/ a preloader & buttons) PHOTOS.swf

I’m creating a page so that users can access different photo albums with one interface. My idea is to use #2 (photos.swf) as the main movie with multiple buttons that load an swf (such as farm.swf - the actual album). So far it’s working in that the first image is loaded when I click the button to load the movie, but my forward/back buttons are chopped off. What I think is happening is that the first image from the movie is being loaded and not the actual swf movie itself. Is there some rule that prevents an swf that uses actionscript to load into another swf that is also using actionscript? Do I need to just abandon this whole idea?

Thanks
Pam
