I’ve been trying to load a external .swf file, which is a photo gallery. Naturally, everything works before I load the file, but when I load it, the images don’t display. I tried just about everything with \_parent.loadMovie, \_root.loadMovie, and this.loadMovie. But nothing seems to work. I’m ready to throw this pc out the window due to lack of sleep and frustration! :!:

Check out a sample flash file of what I’m talking about. I would greatly appreciate any help!
