[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black]Hi there,[/COLOR][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][/COLOR][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black]Having followed the “Transitions Between External SWFs” tutorial (which was super easy to follow and much appreciated) I’ve run into a problem where any buttons that are located on any of my external swf files do not work. In fact if I try to click on them, nothing then works on the main site.[/COLOR][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]Any advice would be MUCH appreciated! If anyone needs any more info, please let me know,[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Cheers[/FONT]
