So for some strange reason, my web host doesn't seem to like it when my flash movies load external swf's into movie clips, as my parent movies just reload. I thought it was coding and I played with the script for hours until I realized that when put on another server, the movie worked fine.
Has anyone else ever seen something like this before? I'm thinking of finding a more stable web hosting company.

i have never heard of something like this as flash is usually client side unless you're pulling xml etc

Never heard - and never will hear of it (again) ;P

this is very strange.. For some reason, it only works when the main movie, and external swf's are located on different servers. My movie doesn't like it when the other movies are located elsewhere on the same server.

just make sure you have the directory set up right, maybe recheck it, I've never heard of that?

I've never seen it before either.. everything is referenced properly.. I've tried placing the other swf's in the same folder, in sub-domains, etc.. But it only works when the external swf's are loaded from a completely different domain, otherwise it just restarts the main movie.. as Cartman says, "totally weak"
