I have embedded an SWF (from a sub-drectory different than current url) onto a page. What happens to all my “loadmovie” layers? They do not appear. DOes it have to do with it being a different directory?

I also tried a container movie load with a url like this  
…container.swf?path=http://www.mydomain.com/path/test.swf

Then in container.swf I have the actionscript “loadMovie(path, this);”

This yields me better results. But now I find that embedded FLV files in the SWF (nor controls) do not appear.

How do I just embedded an SWF (from a “remote” directory) on an html page and have it work with all sub-pages and embeddings work properly?

Help
