loading swf is not a problem as long as you remove the "caption" and "link" in the .xml,
not sure how to do this since XML file only indicates what images to load.. i am guessing there is a way to do this reading XML schema..

^ is leaving the field blank not cutting it? I thought that would do it. - or are you not wanting it in the xml structure
- bulletfactory0
the structure in one of my xml files is simply
-- image
---- filename
---- captionno link tag

<img src="slides/05.jpg" />
<img src="slides/06.jpg" />
<img src="slides/07.swf" />
<img src="slides/08.swf" />
<img src="slides/09.jpg" />this is what i have no, no caption or nothing.. still doesnt seem to work
- is it a path problem, i've had a hell of a time in the past getting things to display, due to bad relative pathbulletfactory
- u have captions disabled in the component inspector, right?klu
- there is nothing disable, only option close to it is Caption Appearance********

no its not a path problem. everything is loading. its just the inability to have SWF interactivity as a slide

i wonder how much it would cost to make a flash presentation kit like this with out the customization..
like something that can load multiple SWF files in full screen and mouse over thumbnail view and left and right..

Can you post this somewhere?

Try using a hitTest for the button rather then a onPress, like below. This ignores any on mouse events like rollovers etc. on movieclips/buttons that will be on top of your button and preventing it from working:
yourMc.onMouseDown = function(){
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
gotoAndPlay("test01");
}
}

where do i put this bit of code?
- Cenitgrade0
Or you could have an event listener that looks out for when a certain slide is loaded. Then it loads a movie on a higher level with invisible buttons on it that line up with the buttons on the underling swf in ssp. Get those buttons to talk to ssp and bingo.
Not exactly elegant, but might work.

thats a good suggestion but i do not know how to do that... BAH

MrDinky, I've had his problem before and had to use the hitTest method as mouse events on higher levels block the buttons in the loaded SWFs.
just put this:
yourMc.onMouseDown = function(){
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
gotoAndPlay("test01");
}
}on the timeline in the SWF loading in put an instance name on your button of "yourMc" (or anythig else you want).
