bolinok -

make sure that the path to your .swf file is correct. i’m not sure what you mean by:

> i put the movie into dreamweaver

but i assume you mean that you uploaded the file to your server or something. if this is the case, make sure that you aren’t targeting a local file or something…

as liam said, use relative locations… i.e.  
path:  
“…/swfs/profile.swf” or whatever it is…

target the file in relation to where your main swf is

hawk

another thing i noticed, not knowing if you plan to use that as your final site, you need to add hitboxes to the buttons… or else its hard to click them
