Attach movie problem

1

I’m having some issues with my attach movie. I’ve made a button that attaches a movie when pressed.


on (release) {
_root.MTMC.window.removeMovieClip();
_root.MTMC.attachMovie ("3d", "window", 1)
}

Now this works fine when I test the movie.

My main loads this movie into an empty movie clip called “emptyMC”. When I go to test the above code does not work when the button is clicked to attachMovie.

I’ve tried switching _root to this and that didn’t work, and I tried switching _root to _parent and that didn’t work.

What is the code for attaching a movie that is nested in an empty MC in my main movie. I can’t figure this out.

Thanks for any help.

I’m a little confused…is your container called emptyMC or MTMC?

hey adam, I have a container in my main movie called emptyMC. the portfolio.swf section is loaded into emptyMC. Portfolio.swf has a button that attaches a movie into it’s own empty mc called MTMC, but it’s not loading into MTMC, it definitely has to do with _root, but I can’t figure out where the button should call the attachMovie into.

hope this makes sense.

try:

_root.emptyMC.MTMC.attachMovie…

Hey Adam, I actually just tried that and it didn’t work. I’m not sure why. Anything else I might be able to try? I’ve been through eevrything I can think of so far.

Can you upload a zip of your main and portfolio fla?
