Hi all.

Im working on my portfolio site and have decided to take the ‘load external swfs onto a base swf’ route.

One of the external swfs is an accordian style menu that looks like this

This works perfectely as long as it is a seperate swf. But when I load the swf into a movie clip on the base swf, it doesn’t work. - the motion, nor the links. Its just static. I have uploaded a picture of what it shows here:

Basically its becomes non-functional when I load it externally. What should I change in the code of the swf of the accordian menu ?
