I just meaned, debug where it doesn’t works. Try to pu a debug textfield on your stage somewhere, and make a function MyTrace(msg:String) { debug\_txt.text += “ ” + msg; } Now trace before your call and after your call, check where it don’t work ---

Ok you don’t have the fla ? So i can’T help you. Check where you got it and read for help. Check if you need to put other files then the swf. If I can’t see code, i can’t help you. Sorry Lachhh ---

Well my first guess will be that the .php are not on your server, or one of the swf is missing on the server. But I really think that it’s a problem of loading external files so one of your swf or the php files. That’s why i told you to trace before and after the call of the loading of your second swf, and before and after the communication with your php files. But maybe there’s a validation if your swf is on a specific URL, which would not load or do anything. Who knows ! :D. So check if all the loading are made properly, then tell me if they are any others problem. Lachhh
