Hey,

This is my problem:  
I have gotten the tutorial for transitions between external swf’s by voet’s to work perfectly for me before, but when I place the buttons (which load/unload each swf) into an MC, they stop working, can anyone tell me why?

I’m sure it’s something to do with the path, now that the buttons are in a mc, something to do with \_parent maybe?

Thanks for any help,

Regards  
Blurb

yep you’re right, mess around with those paths.
