    <p>I've got to (quickly!) add an intro to an existing flash masthead on a site that I've inherited. I don't have access to the source .fla's, so I approached the problem by putting the intro in a wrapper swf and loading the current masthead and adding it to the display list on <code>Event.INIT</code>. So far, so good. (Incidentally, the swfs are built for flash player 9 and use AS3.)</p> <p>The problem I'm having is that although the intro plays fine and loads / displays the beginning of the masthead swf, which is a loading animation, the masthead itself never actually plays. Essentially, my question is: what would cause an actionscript 3-based swf to behave differently when it's the child of another swf as opposed to at the top level of the embedded swf?</p> <p>Potentially important details: Embedding is being handled with swfobject, and no flashvars are being passed in. There are two params, which are <code>base: "/flash/"</code> and <code>wmode: "opaque"</code>. All the swfs and flash data live in <code>/flash/</code>. The flash elements (minus the intro I built) were constructed using the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/inky/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Inky flash framework</a>, with which I'm not familiar. </p> <p><b>UPDATE</b>: I've reconsidered my approach to the problem and gotten it working by using ExternalInterface; I'm having the intro swf call a js function when it finishes playing, which swaps out the intro swf and replaces it with the current masthead (the approach is outlined <a href="http://pipwerks.com/swfobject/load-onclick/2.0/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>). I'd still like to know why I was witnessing the behavior I was seeing earlier, though, so any ideas and suggestions would be welcome.</p>
