Hello,
After following the tutorial on loading random backgrounds ( [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/loadingrandombackground.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/loadingrandombackground.htm) ) I have found that something is not quite right. It all works fine when i preview it straight through the Flash player, but when I try to view it embedded in html it doesnt work.
The uploaded swf embedded is [http://www.acreativeedge.com/fastlikesquirrel](http://www.acreativeedge.com/fastlikesquirrel)
Any suggestions? Maybe something wrong with the code i used to embed?
cheers for any help,
Fox 🐇

Did you upload to your server both the swf and the html file?
