flash actionscript: I have created an html Flash detector index page which loads a preloader swf
which, in turn, loads the final swf as an external file onto a level.
Everything seems to work except that when the final swf opens it is frozen -
none of the buttons work. I've tried a number of things but none have solved
the problem. I suspect it's a kind of parent/child issue but I'm a newbie to
actionscript . Can anyone explain what's wrong and how to fix it? The whole
set=up is not working at : http://www.tbc.net/~elfstone/index..html
Thanks,

you probably have references to _root attached to your buttons in the final
swf. when that final swf is opened on its own, _root refers to the final swf
timeline. when that final swf is loaded by another movie (your preloader)
using targetMC.loadMovie(), _root refers to the preloader timeline.
you could change the code in that final swf or check the use of _lockroot and
possibly change the code in your preloader.
