It is probably a targeting issue.
The \_root of the loaded movie is no longer the \_root, the \_root will now be the \_root of the movie you are loading into.
In that case, \_root assumes you are targeting something on the main timline of the movie you are loading into.
You can try using \_parent instead, or just remove that part altogether and see what happens.
(I am assuming your loadMovie code looks like \_root.Clip.loadMovie(“file.swf”))

Try…
on (release) {
\_parent.contents.loadMovie(“myfile.swf”);
}
or
on (release) {
contents.loadMovie(“myfile.swf”);
}

oh ok. Did you upload all the individual .swf files you are trying to load into?
Does it work on your computer and just not on your server?

I get an error saying a script in the Flash file is causing my browser to stop responding and I had to close it.
You have a unclosed loop somewhere that is causing this.

Yeah, but it disables the actionscript used in your movie if you do that.
This is not a good error.
What code are you using for your preloader? This is probably what is causing it.

Thanks man 🙂
Nope, I don’t see the uploads here. They might be too big to put as an attachment and can’t upload.
Upload to the server and post links to them.

Oh… I know that code 😉
That isn’t causing it.
You have a nice seamless loop going on with that.
Ermm, there is another script causing the problem then I believe.
Can you post the .fla files?
