Hi!

Problem with external swf loading into a main swf.

I have a button inside my main.swf file that should open another swf-file, putting it on the same place as an invisible movieclip called “(projectyta)”. I want it there and it works out fine.

The button has this code:

on (release){  
loadMovie(“project1.swf”, \_root.projectyta);  
}

The problem!

The external swf file shows just as I want it to show when I press the button from the main.swf, Only, I have buttons inside my external swf that doesn’t work. The external swf file just stays in frame 1 all the time.

Does this make sense?

Please someone…
