I want to use this magnifying glass as a feature in a slideshow I’m making.  
[magnifying glass](http://www.peterjoel.com/Samples/magnifier.fla)

I am loading swfs into an empty mc using

on (release) {  
loadMovie(“3.swf”, “\_root.textframe”);  
}

The magnifying swf works just fine by itself, but when loaded into the mc in my main swf, it doesn’t work. I figure it has something to do with parent/child relationships in the code…and I tried a few permutations…to no avail.

I am NO GOOD at AS at all. Can anyone help me? Thanks.
