a.swf is a Flash 5 file and has a script:
loadMovie ("video.swf", video);

video.swf is a CS3 file and it has embedded flash video.

Now the video loads fine if I open a.swf, but it won't work if I have a html and a.swf inside of it.

video.swf works fine if I put it directly to html page, but not if I load it via a.swf.

How do i make it load in a.swf?

Solved the problem by using:

loadMovie ("images/video.swf", video);

command. When in player mode it is not needed, only in html, weird. :shock:

Good to hear you solved it. Flash 5 was a disaster, I hear. They had to clean the code pretty hard for later versions.
