Hi everybody, I'll try to keep this simple and thanks in advance for any help with this :)

I have 3 movies that work together as a team.

Movie#1 loads and via loadMovieNum("Movie2.swf", 1) Movie#2 is then loaded. Movie#2 is a "key" that checks the date and if date is acceptable, Movie#2 then changes a variable in Movie#1 ... ie: _level0.okay=true .

When Movie#1's variable "okay" is changed to "true", Movie#3.swf is then loaded via loadMovieNum("Movie3.swf",2).

Everything works fine directly off my PC .. except when I upload these files to the internet. Movie#1 loads okay in the broweser, and then Movie#2 loads okay, but the variable "okay" in Movie#1 does not change (I set up a dynamic text box with that var name in Movie#1 so I can see if the change happens). And since var "okay" in Movie#1 was not changed by Movie#2 successfully, of course Movie#3 does not load. I suspect some kind of security thing happening within the Flash Player despite all swfs being in same directory.

Has anyone every encountered this phenomenon before? Any advice would be very much appreciated, thank you :)
