I have a scene that is normally static (only 1 frame), but have a layer on i
t
that includes a separate MC in the background that cycles photos.  If I play
the main SWF from the local drive, the aforementioned layer will play out th
e
embedded MC just fine; however, when placed upon the web server, the embedde
d
MC will not play at all, as if it's being ignored.  Any thoughts?

....sometimes I hate code.  ;o)  I found a stop(); stuck in my embedded MC. 
 I'm
not sure why that got ignored when playing locally, but I took it out, uploa
ded
the SWF to the server and what do you know... it works!  Sorry for taking up
space on the board.
