...but this what is very odd! - in an fla with just a static button in and importing that class - when the swf button is clicked it 'does' load the lightwindow box with that video into the html doc - in the right way (ie as an overlay!)

but it just doesn't like anything else. Any ideas why that is? i'm at a total loss!

ps: apologies for my being so slow on the uptake here - so much has changed from as2!
