Hey all,

Quick question: I’m trying to get things working with a project of mine and I’m wondering the following:

- I have “scene1”
- within scene1 is a moveclip with a movie dynamically loaded
- within the dynamically loaded movie, I have actionscript referring to \_root.blahblah

now is \_root.blahblah referring to the root of the dynamically loaded movie or the orignal movie?
