I am trying to create a string on the main stage which I will use to load swf’s externally into a scroll pane. Say I create a string called name (name = new String()) and when I click the button called home, name is changed to home.swf (name = “Home.swf”). The button home also loads a movie onto the main stage from the library called animation which is a nice little preloader and a couple of things flying around before I want the page to show up. Within the movie I just called onto the main stage, I include the code myScrollPane.loadScrollContent(name). How come it doesnt load Home.swf when I click the home button?
