I built myself a sliding menu following the instructions here:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/slidingMenu.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/slidingMenu.htm)

I works great as a standalone swf, but when I use it within a movie clip (I tried it as a swf imported into a blank movie clip AND as its own movieclip within a movie) it just doesn’t work.

I am very new to actionscripting - and I have no idea what I’m doing wrong.

Thanks in advance,
