hi, i am unable to display external swf’s properly. The external swf plays out well when i execute it on its own.

However when i link it to a button in my main swf, only the first frame of the external swf is displayed in the main swf.

I have checked all my linking and scripts and still am unable to find out the problem.

Appreciate any help i can get…
