heres the website [http://rivolis.com/05-09-06/](http://rivolis.com/05-09-06/)

i am loading a calendar script that i found on flashkit here: [http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scripting/XML/Calendar-Siddhart-7645/index.php](http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scripting/XML/Calendar-Siddhart-7645/index.php)

it works fine when saved and published right from the start

now i have an empty movieclip named calendarborder on my main timeline in the [rivolis.com](http://rivolis.com) movie

when u click the “Event Calendar” button, it tells \_root.calendarborder.loadMovie(“calendar.swf”);

and it loads fine and the days and stuff come up and it even hghlights today’s date, but it does Not pull from the XML file cal.xml

it does Not highlight the days referenced in cal.xml nor display that text in the appropriate msg box when u click on that day.

i have tried to use \_globals and changing \_roots to \_parents

but i just cant figure it out

would anyone take a look at the source files and give me a hand please?
