Hello - I have an FLA “Web\_BNRs\_Slider\_TEST.fla” which animates a large image and moves it to the right on the \_x axis. If your cursor moves to left, so does the image. Works great!

However, when I create a new FLA (“Slider\_ROOT.fla”) and attempt to load and position “Web\_BNRs\_Slider\_TEST.swf” into an empty MC, it loads but will not animate.

If I replace it with “Box1\_Test.swf” (a blue rectangle that moves across the \_X axis), everything animates just fine.

I can’t seem to locate the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

A link is provided to download all the FLAs and SWFs (1.4 Mb)
