I have the most stupid thing: I have Flash site with different .swf’s.

\_level0: projector.swf (AS2)  
\_level0.site\_mc: menu.swf (AS1)  
\_level0.container\_mc: other.swf’s (AS2)

In projector.swf I have a movieClip with 2 buttons for language: nl\_btn & eng\_btn. Clicking makes the \_global.taal change to “dutch” or “english”.

menu.swf gets the global and responds, but all the movies loaded in \_level0.container\_mc won’t get the globals set by projector.swf.

Now that menu.swf is in as1 i thought this would be the problem, but changing the \_level0.container\_mc movies into as1 I still couldn’s trace the \_globals…☹

Does anyone have an idea why this happens?
