hello all! 🙂

i am stuck for days with a ludicrously simple (i hope) thing…

i have my Main.swf which loads external .swf inside the main window, depending on the menu chosen (so for example button one loads 1.swf, button 2 loads 2.swf, and so on). i am sure you know this type of flash page option.

i have animations running on the “children” .swf!

anyways, the problem is:

when i press on the menu button (depending how long i wait) the animation on the child swf is already come to an end. if i press menu button 1 after 5 second of the main window open, it loads 1.swf already 10 seconds in. (loading time takes a few moments)… if i press button 1 after 25 seconds, 1.swf is already stopped playing!

WTF ☹

can anybody help!?

thank you in advance
