Hi all
I'm working on a virtual catalogue and I get my movie to load the next page SWF into an existing mc on stage when the viewer clicks for the next page.
The problem is, I am using a mask to show parts of the page, and if I use a mask, the loaded SWF doesn't show, it just shows the empty movieclip that I first placed on the stage. If I remove the mask layer, the loaded SWF shows fine. This is surely a bug, right? I'm using flash 5, but I've also tried it in flash 8 professional and it does the same thing.
p.s. If I remove my mask to show the SWF, later duplicated movieclips that I need don't appear, but they do with the mask layer there, so it's a catch 22 situation. It's doing my head in!!
Any advice would be appreciated!
TIA
Andy
