hiya all~!

I’m a bit puzzled with a current project and could use some help.

Situation:  
We have a containing swf (contest.swf) that does a

```auto
loadMovie

```

call for ‘entryform.swf’ to be loaded into it. That part works, but I lose all the functionality of my ‘entryform.swf.’

I tried a couple different ways to have the ‘entryform.swf’ loaded in… things like the

```auto
onClipEvent

```

, but that just made the ‘contest.swf’ blank.

The checkbox on the ‘entryform.swf’ is actually a movieClip that moves the header for the different states. The code for the checkbox is actually on that movieclip whereas on the ‘submit’ button, the script is on the frame.

I’m left with the conclusion that where and how I made the scripts is producing this outcome, but not sure really tho.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,  
thanks all!
