its true. i’ve tried examples from every thread…external jpgs will load but not swfs…no matter what i do.

on (rollOver) {  
\_root.containerMC.loadMovie(“bio1.swf”);  
}

just a blank space shows. i even tried using the create empty movie clip deal…still no dice. any love from the guru nation?

p.s. - is there a resolution setting within flash mx? i copied something from flash to fireworks and it asked me to resample due to different resolutions.?? related?
