Great tutorial, works excellent. My only issue is how to do this on multiple levels? I’m trying to get an external swf open within an external swf. I know this probably isn’t necessary but it does keep the site easily managed and very dynamic.

It works on the main swf, and if i test it on the the linked page it works as well, just not together. I orginally thought that maybe it was the conflicting container names/variables so I made sure to change those. Maybe the solution would be to use a common container?

Please download my sample fla here: [http://www.cgrobot.com/murata.zip](http://www.cgrobot.com/murata.zip)  
(note, not all linked swf’s are included, just enough to get the point across. The issue is with the sub-menu within “Information”).
