I have an swf embedded in an HTML p

[frozenpeas]

I have an swf embedded in an HTML page that acts as a shell. I want it to load other swfs into levels 2 - 6.

Nothing is really happening. It is fine with one swf. But when I try to use the shell to load up other ones, nothing happens. It's just blank. The 'showmenu' command is ignored. I've disabled the right-click 'Print' option and that is working properly.

What am I missing?

The shell swf contains one frame and two layers:

Layer 1 (works fine):

!#p

Layer 2 (doesn't work):

fscommand ("showmenu", "false");
loadMovieNum ("cursor.swf", 6);
loadMovieNum ("menu_main.swf", 5);
loadMovieNum ("menu_config.swf", 4);
loadMovieNum ("borders.swf", 3);
loadMovieNum ("home.swf", 2);

Thanks.

There's nothing wrong with your scripting at all.

May sound silly, but have you checked that your swf files are in the same location as your shell?

That doesn't sound too silly. Sometimes it's the simplest things that we overlook...

However, the swf files are in the same location as the shell. I have also tried moving things around, to different locations and changing the links accordingly. It's still not working.

I am at my wit's end.

Is this a 1 frame "shell" .swf.
If so, try moving your loadMovie actions to at least the 5th or 6th frames, with obviouly a stop frame on that frame also.
LoadMovie actions don't work well on the few first frames of a movie, especially if theY're not inside a button script, and lying on their own on the timeline.
