Hi  
I have problems displaying the background image of an external.swf loaded into a main.swf. The main.swf is the Sliding Menu downloaded from Kirupa.

\*\*The s2.swf calling for the background image  
**I have an empty mc in the main stage with the instance of imgHolder2.  
\*\*  
The script calls for the image:**  
\_root.imgHolder2.loadMovie(“images/content2.jpg”);

Why does the background image of external.swf not display???

**The button in main.swf calling for external swf**  
After finish sliding, button loads external.swf into \_root.contentHold.content2.  
\*\*  
The script:\*\*  
b2.onRelease = function() {  
menuSlide(contentHold.content2);  
\_root.contentHold.content2.loadMovie(“s2.swf”);

Im not sure the script is correct. Should I define the path to the external swf differently!?  
Thanks for your time
