Thanks Dave,
Did not know this, I am sure it will come in handy but I have another
swf file that gets loaded at a different time and in the same way which
loads fine, so it must be something else.
I'll just have to go through my code (again) to try and find the problem.
cheers

hi JohnT,
The path to loaded .swf files changes when accessing from an HTML
page on the net - it is different than the IDE/authoring environment.
For example, with all .swf's in the same folder, the path is direct,
the main.swf loads peers from the same folder.
When main.swf is embedded in a web page, main.swf loads from the web
page's _files folder (adjust file explorer in windoze to show 'hidden'
folders)... HTML pages with .swf content store assets in an
accompanying 'webPageName_files' folder.
So, main.swf must call to the web page's accompanying folder to find
the to be loaded .swf files, since main.swf is now outside of the
storage folder - the path from the HTML embedded main.swf would be:
webPageName_files/to_be_loaded.swf
The key is that even though all the .swf files are in the same folder
on the server, the main.swf is actually outside of that folder in the
HTML page when it is trying to call the content to load.
Also, an earlier comment in this thread mentioned case ( capital vs
small letters ) on many servers... it's true.
hth,
