Yeah, the invisible buton trick won't do in this case (only just now looked at
the zip file).
Looks like the loaded swf listens for Mouse Events.
An overlaying invisible button will only work to prevent underlying buttons
from working.
I'm not sure if there's a way to 'hijack' those mouse events from the loaded
swf.
Well, at least I can't think of one right one..

Muzak

Hi Muzak,
I have just tried this and still get the error.
Screenshot of error:

Example Code:

Also there is another problem. If you click outside of the masked area of
the advert it still registers it as a click on the loaded movie!?!
Anyone else any ideas?

Use the (very) old invisible button trick.
So create a "Button symbol" with only the "hit" state (keyframe) defined
and put that on top of the movieclip that holds the loaded swf.
