loaded in movie using loadMovie - buttons don't work

[JoePrice]

Hi Chaps

I'm loading in a .swf file using loadMovie
all works fine apart from the buttons within this loaded movie aren't working.

Any suggestions as to whats wrong ?

Thanks

ok I've found that if i use loadMovieNum, the buttons now work, however I cannot change the location of my loaded in movieclip

Is there anyway I can have my buttons work AND be able to determine the position of the loaded in movie?

Ok here's the solution
if you use _root in the loaded in movie, flash gets confused and thinks you're talking about the _root of the main movie.

To solve this problem, for any loaded in movies, use relative paths using _parent

I love answering my own questions :-)
