Nested .swf problem, lost partial functionality

Using Flash 8;

Howdy all,

I think I have a nested .swf problem in which I seem to lose partial functionality. Please bear with me while I briefly explain the 3 files which are nested :slight_smile:

I have an entire AS, xml, site which uses Alpha fades in a photo gallery. This gallery page uses a “container” movie clip to load .swf files into, let’s say .swf1, .swf2, and .swf3. This gallery also uses external .as files in addition to the main movie for some of the functionality.

The way my page works is .swf3 is the main page with the header, footer, etc. This mainpage then loads .swf2, which is a slideshow of the .jpgs. Then .swf2 then loads .swf1, which contains the code which does the Alpha fade functions and mcLoaders using xml and contains the dynamic text displayed and the actual MC’s in which the photos load into.

When I play and post live .swf1 and .swf2, just the slideshow and loaders, it works fine.

However, when I wrap up these two .swf files and call them from the main page, this “3rd call” seems to mess things up. What happens is I lose my alpha fades for the gallery and the images just show up immediately, with no easing transition as if when played alone or in the stand-alone gallery.

I have attached code for review!

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks alot!!
