Ok, newb here, got the tutorial working no problem (tutorial link) and understand it all (I think) but I made my own swf just to test and saved over the gallery.swf that came with the tutorial, and now the animation wont load when I press the gallery button, it just opens to a yellow screen. The swf just had a line of text on it - I can’t see it, but I can select it. The other two buttons still work.
What have I done wrong? Do I need to do something special to the new swf file to get it to load properly into the main swf file?
and can’t find solution to loading external movieclips as per the tutorial.
Is there something that needs to be done to the external clips to make them display over the _root clip? Something about level 0 vs 1, perhaps? Your help is greatly appreciated as the fla’s were not included for the demo’d swf files in the tutorial mentioned above.
THANK YOU!!! (After you stop laughing at my question please help! )

Attached should be the swf I’m trying to substitute over the gallery.swf that came in the tutorial.
you gotta embed the font outlines for dynamic text, otherwise you won’t be able to see it in the main movie.
don’t worry, i did the same thing not too long ago by accident and drove myself nuts trying to figure it out. i think i even made a post about it :block:
Funny thing is I didn’t set it to dynamic, this was just a test to get someting static to display. I NEVER would have guessed it was set to dynamic, does MX always default text to this? Or did I just accidently hit a key that changed it from static?
Anyway, you were right, changed it to static, worked perfectly, thank you!
