Hi,

I am new to the forum.

I am trying to use the following sliding menu in my site

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/slidingmenu.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/slidingmenu.htm)

The menu works, i have made an swf called slide1.swf and it works on its own.  
But now when i try to load it into the main swf it dous nothing, it is supposed to move a little when first loaded and then move when the buttons are clicked. Well nothing happens it just sits there.

This is the code i use to load the movie:

on(release) {  
loadMovie(“slide1.swf”,\_root.MC);  
}

the code in slide1.swf is the same as in the source

What am i doing wrong??

thx
