When "HowToAddAnAutoResponder.swf" is inserted into result.swf, it's inserted
into a movieClip (sprite). That means the object name is now
"background", not "_root".
However, the Actionscript in "HowToAddAnAutoResponder.swf" executes Actions
of the form
        _root.play().

Therefore, the buttons (which trigger those Actions) aren't working anymore.

What you can try is using jpeg2swf and swfcombine with the -Tm (--stack1
--merge) flag, which will put all movies into _root.
