If you load a new swf *into* the button, you will wipe out the original
swf ( and thus any script it contained ).  If no longer there, how can
it possibly work?

Either load and reference your swf from outside the button, or include
the same code in BOTH swfs.

Hope that makes sense.  If you want an example, let us know.
