No it does not need to be an exe file. I tried loading the swf file as well and loads ok, except that the second swf file needs to look at a folder and load a bunch of jpg, and other data. I have looked at the data being loaded and it is all there, however the pictures do not load that data does not put into the dynamic text fields. But when I run the second swf file as a stand alone file it works perfect. So I thought that maybe I could force it to run the exe file instead. But couldn't figure it out.

When I've done CD's I created the opening file as an exe,so you have the built-in player, auto opened it with an autorun.inf file, then loaded and unloaded swf's and jpg's and such into it, without any problems. Does the second file need to be an exe? jimbo _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
