Hey all…

Been sitting with this for a time now. Hope som of u can give a little help 🙂

I’m loading an external swf into a container. The swf has 4 buttons that won’t work

on (release) {  
\_root.main.gotoAndPlay(“4-1”);

}

The as is placed on each button and it works fine when im testing the swf in itself.  
But they wont work when i test it from the main swf and load the ecternal swf in.

hmm…  
How can i get the buttons to work.

Thx for the help to ne1 how replies 🙂
