What...
Could you um....explain a little more.
And what version of flash are you using?

[ryanforsberg2004]

We are using version 7.2.

i think I have partially solved the initial problem.

i am making a website for the family farm and i want to have a photo gallery of the animals we have. i already made the photo gallery and the website seperatly now i want to integrate the photo gallery (swf file) into the website (fla).

the first problem was i could get it in but the buttons weren't working
(the gallery works fine when it is not integrated into my main Flash page) then we figured out how to make them work (by using the following load movie script and integrating it into one of my buttons on the main site: [on(release) {
loadMovie("gallery1.swf",1);
} ] With this script inserted the photoscroll (named gallery.swf) would just show up in the top left hand corner of my main Flash site and everything was working - but we wanted to be able to specify an exact location. then we figured out how to get it into the area that i wanted (by creating a symbol in my website, then naming the instance (slidewhow) and then linking the .swf file through a button that was already created using a similar script as we did previously, but now we placed the file in the new instance (placeholder) the script we used is [on(release) {
loadMovie("gallery1.swf",slideshow);
} ] but now the buttons don't work again it shows that they are there and the little hand shows up when you place it over the buttons but they don't work.

Any help that you can provide would be appreciated very much.

Thank you in advance for your help.
