Well the grey search button at the top helps to narrow a search…lol.

Well, I narrowed with that, and now I will narrow it more for you and give you a direct link to the thread.

The .fla file is in the last post in the thread.

Didiusthegreat, try this tutorial, it’s a candle flame, but you can easily modify it to look like Neostream’s flames. Hope it helps. =)

Sorry man, I totally missed that.☹

Since I didn´t see your fla, I´m guessing that the references are screwed up now that you put the mc inside another one.

* * *

**follow these steps:**

whenever you have a need to refer to a object (mc / bt / dinamical text field) you can do in one of two ways:

1- Relative path (better but harder)  
2- Absolute path (easier but bugier)

**Let´s do on the easy way (absolute paths):**

think how many steps you have to take to get to the object (that you want to refer) starting from the main stage. Ex:

_you want to set the variable **speed** in the timeline of the **smallBall** mc that is inside the **bigBall** mc, that is on the main stage_

\_root[SIZE=3] **.** [/SIZE]bigball[SIZE=3] **.** [/SIZE]smallBall[SIZE=3] **.** [/SIZE]speed = newValue;  
(main) (parent) ( child ) (variable)  
(stage) ( mc ) ( mc )

* * *

based on the tips above, read again the AS of your fla, and see if the references are ok.

=)
