Calling functions in another swf

programming flash
1

Hi. I’m trying to do something very simple and I’ve searched the forums but the answer to my question doesn’t seem to work for me…

I’m trying to call a function that is on another SWF that I am loading into a container on the root of my main swf. The function I will call will be

intervalId = setInterval(this, "executePixelation", duration, photoNum);

But for now I can’t seem to pass anything over to the loaded swf.

I am using this method to load the swf:

on (release){
	loadMovie("project1.swf",_root.Content);
             _root.Content.happyVar = "niceness";
}

And this method to call a variable in the first frame of project1.swf:

trace(_root.Content.happyVar);

Before I start calling functions I’d at least like to be able to trace a simple variable…

This has got to be so easy :ear: … !! :slight_smile:
