here’s the scenario:

i have a nested swf that functions just fine.  
i have a parent swf (that holds the nested swf) that has a button (not related to functions of nested swf) that no longer works when combined.

the button is simply a link button to a url… is there a very simple solution to this?  
Except telling me to put a link inside the nested swf, of course.

I thank you in advance for any suggestions.
