I am currently working on a project which contains two flash movies each in their own div on an html page. I am using one as navigation and the other as a frame into which external swf’s are loaded. I used LocalConnection to send the name of the external swf to the main movie and then have the main movie load the external swf into a holder movie clip. I can’t for the life of me see what I’m doing wrong if anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!
