Hi there,

I'm currently working on a web banner for a client. A simple expand banner you
can check at http://www.aelios.com/test/. Just rollover on the banner to expand
it. The expanded part is supposed to show a text scrolling from bottom to top.
Right now obviously, it's not working out...

Currently, the expand portion is handled by the movieclip "mcExpander" sitting
on the main timeline. This movie clip contains another movieclip "mcST" that is
supposed to contain an external swf. This external swf just contains a couple
graphics (the text that scrolls). The reason why things are broken down this
way is because the main banner's file size has to be small.

So, on the main timeline's frame 1, there's:
mcExpander.mcST.loadMovie("external.swf");
to load the external swf into the nested movieclip. That external swf works
fine by itself and when placed directly on the main timeline.

I'm far from being a Flash guru and can't figure out what's wrong. The source
is available on http://www.aelios.com/test/test.fla . Can somebody please tell
me what I'm not doing right?? Reference problem?

Thank in advance,
