Buttons help please.

ok first post so hello everyone,
i have been working with koolmoves for some time now
but mainly to do flash intros ect.

I am working on a menu wich at the end buttons should appear so users can access my my other links ect... ok the problem is while making my menu
i imported a set of buttons i made on another program (flashnation) and i imported em as .swf i then put them on the last frame of the move and i stoped the move on that last frame so it wouldnt keep looping, now when i preview it via the browser in koolmoves everything loads including said buttons but when i then submit it to my profile the whole movie loads but the buttons do not show.

Does anyone here have any idea why this is happening? keeping in mind the rest of the movie loads nno problems.

Thank you in advance, more info available if requested.

EDIT: this is the code i used>>

<object width="560" height="424">
<param name="movie" value="filename">
<embed src="locationhere" width="560" height="424">
</embed>
</object>

Anyone? be much appreciated like, it's very frustrating as it took me a long time to do for it to be foiled by such a simple problem lol

Thanks in advance.

did you upload the loaded flash movies? I'm not sure but you may need to.

yes i uploaded the movie, it plays on my site with no problem other than the buttons not loading..its strange though because when i preview it on the browser everything works fine even the buttons....

I know you can make buttons via koolmoves but that doesn't have the styles i want for this particular project... can anyone recommend to me a good button creator? and i will try that to see if it makes a difference.

Also as there where animated and then loaded into the project as swf shouldnt they work along with the rest of it no problem? or do i need to do something to em when i load em in?
this is how it looks when i load em in... it shows as a black box with a cross in the middle saying .swf at the top but you cant actually see the buttons in the full form untill you preview it so maybe theres sumthing else i must do in order for them to work in conjunction...

Heres a solution i was given ages ago but it didnt work, load them about 3 frames from the end so the fade in and have time to load...well i tried that, i then increased the movie lengh by about 40 frames with the last 40 being the finishing frame (just copied them over and over but still no joy.
Its so frustrating because if i can master that then i could actually start doing this regular and maybe selling menus ect to profile users and webmasters, i have knocked up some really cool thing with koolmoves and other tools just none that need navigation buttons.

ps my buttons are linked to the correct http:// adresses aswell so its not that

Had a thought, i may sound like a div here but ya know my buttons are in swf would i need to actually upload them to a file host aswell as the finished product? or doesn't that matter as its loaded in the main movie wich in turn has been uploaded....

That's what I meant. I think when imported that way you may have to upload the button swf's as well.
