Problems Loading External SWF

[Linwood7]

Hi,

I took a file created with Flash MX and began updating it in Flash 8.
A button pressed in the first frame moves the movie to frame 2 where a frame action should load an swf from my site. When I publish the movie for version 6 it works fine. When I publish for version 8, the movie doesn't load.
I kept the actionscript at 1.0 and I'm using the following code:

loadMovie("http://www.MySite.com/Practice/Quadsloader.swf", "VideoLoader");

Any idea why this isn't working?

Thanks!

did you get the security mm site window pop up asking you to place some trusted locations etc... on it.

If you are working locally then you cant access http resources without doing something.
I have this problem in a sense as well.Just trying to test in my authoring environment.

hope this helps

Thanks for the reply.
The security thing is a nuisance. All of my work involves loading files located on my server. It is really annoying to have to give permission every time you test a new swf.
I fixed my problem but I'm too much of a beginner to help with the problem you posted. Sorry.
Any thoughts on my variables post?

Thanks again!

I think in fact it is the security thing that might be the issue. The coding is probably ok, since it works in v6. good to leave the as as 1 in publish setting. Do you get any errors displayed ? Try attaching the file and I will take a look.
