loadmovie problem

flash actionscript: I have a site that has a main background movie on top of which I load other
swfs using "loadMovieNum("", 0);" (These act as the different pages of my
site). When I upload it to my server, all of the swf's load correctly but
one, which just doesn't seem to load at all. The only thing that makes this
swf different from the others is that it loads swfs on top of it that act as
pop-up windows.

I'm fairly new to flash and I'm not sure how to solve this. Can anybody
suggest some things that might be wrong? Or even a place to start?!

Thanks!

Thanks for your response. When I click on the button that should load it, it
just stays blank. I have a preloader built into the swf that is supposed to
load, but it doesn't come up. The preloader should come up right away if it's
loading, right?

well, i'm not sure how that's all working. if you use
loadMovieNum("whatever.swf",0) you won't ever see preloader code of anything
else from what used to be your main movie because you've wiped out your main
movie by loading into _level0.

so, something doesn't make sense. it doesn't sound correct when you say that
everything works with other movies that load into _level0. it doesn't make
sense that preloader code in the movie that contains your loadMovieNum()
statement would ever work.

Hi,

Do you want the overlaying swfs to go over the top of _root for example. Are you unloading the swfs on the other levels first?
