I have three swf files: navigation3.swf, thumbnail\_scroller.swf and chuck.swf

I have set these swfs up to load into containers as per the techniques laid out in Kirupa’s Transitions between external SWFs as described below.

thumbnail\_scroller.swf has a container (playercont) in the root, and a button which loads chuck.swf into that container. This all works fine when standing alone.

navigation3.swf has a container (container2) in the root, and a button which loads thumbnail\_scroller.swf into it. thumbnail\_scoller.swf loads fine, but the button no longer loads chuck.swf.

Is there a rule that these containers can’t be nested, or is it a targeting issue. I thought it would be better to load chuck.swf directly into navigation3.swf when the button in thumbnail\_scroller.swf is clicked, but cannot figure out how to do that, or if it is even possible.

I’ve been banging my head on the desk all day - can anyone help me out? Any aid would be greatly appreciated!
