Hi there,

I have a simple swf animation that sits in another swf, which is itself inside another swf. In other words, there are three levels… and the swf in the bottom level doesn’t animate. I read somewhere that you can only nest swfs to two levels, does anyone know of a way around this?

Cheers!
