    I was able to make this work with text, but when I try to lead a .swf (an image gallery) I am getting a Security Sandbox Violation! I am trying to figure out how to fix the security settings but this is such a headache! Can anyone help me? I’m trying to make it so my client can update their own photos on the server.

    Not if you upload it to a website, only if you’re using it locally on your computer.

    Dude.. you have no idea how much this video (with lack of better words) saved my ass. I can honestly say, I learned more from you than I did from my (well-paid) instructor regarding dynamic content. I will send you a link to my finished class project when I get it done… I couldn’t have done it without this! I can now successfully load external SWF files into my main SWF! YOU ROCK!
