Main TxEff animation loads external TxEff animations

Q:If there is main .swf file that contains a TxEff animation with the Blur pattern and this main .swf file loads several other external .swf files, all containing TxEff animations with different external patterns, there will be "pattern unavailable" error message displayed in the output panel. This happens even if all the external patterns used, are placed correctly in the Library of each external .swf file. The error message disappears if I place all the external patterns into the Library of my main file. How should the external TxEff animations be loaded correctly so there won't be the need to place all the patterns I use, into the Library of the main .fla ?
