I am loading a swf file into a parent file, in the parent file i have enclosed two buttons that are not visible in the swf that loads into it. The swf that loads covers the whole parent stage and i cannot see the buttons at all no matter where i place the layer or whether I place them on each layer for the corresponding movie clips that should load. Here is the code i am using to load the swf into the parent, the swf is loading externally.  
on (release) {  
gotoAndStop(“Scene 1”, “aidanport”);  
\_root.loadMovie(“[http://www.talentola.com/menport/aidan.swf","aidan\_mc](http://www.talentola.com/menport/aidan.swf%22,%22aidan_mc)”);  
}  
PLEASE help guys i am at a standstill and feel like its such a small matter i am not finding.  
Thank you in advance
