Flash SWF calling another SWF

I have created a flash movie and embedded the .swf file into a freeway web page. Within that .swf file the flash movie calls another .swf file into it to play a song and play a small animation. The animation should be right on top of the original flash .swf without replacing it. It will not show up for some reason. Is this a Freeway embed problem or have I just missed something in my Flash file. I have looked over it more than once and am confused on why it will not show. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time!

Take a look at the path in the flash file that is calling the second flash file. Experiment with different addressing schemes.

If it is currently set to just the filename, try making it root-relative:

/Resources/flashfile.swf

Or try this:

../Resources/flashfile.swf

And make sure that you have uploaded the second file into your Resources. Freeway doesn’t pick up those internal references from flash.
