Hi guys,

I’ve ran into a very nasty little problem that has been buggin me for few days.

Basically I have a main (parent) swf which loads the content of the sub pages into a MovieClip called mc\_container.

Inside every child SWF I have a code to repostion and resize its contents as I need with stage.addEventListener (Event.RESIZE, relocateandresize);

But the problem is, once this SWF is embedded into the main (parent) swf, this code stops working.

Anyway to bypass this problem?

Thanks,
