SWF loading XML loading SWF

Heya
I have put together a site structure with a dynamic navigation that scrolls... tsunami/mac os type. So I got it placed right blah blah blah. Now, the menu calls out to an xml which loads images or whatever into the set places for the menu. Jpgs work great, I still actually can't get any functionality out of them... but what I wanted was to load swfs into these spots. So I created an independent swf that has rollover animation on rollover and rollout and release. Independently it works perfectly, but when I try to load it into the menu all the functionality is gone and its static. Any help would be greatly appreciated and if my code is needed I can provide that as well...
both files are as3...
THANKS!
