Can you put frame actions on loaded external swfs that will effect and control the main .fla timeline (_root) and what would the syntax be?
lets say that main.fla is my main flash doc that is loading an external swf called “externalSWF1.swf”
if i want “externalSWF1” to make things happen to the the main.fla time line (which would be _root) - how can i do that?
for example -
main.fla is loading “externalSWF1” at the press of a button. same button also makes internal “thumbnail_mc” alpha = 0, which is on the stage of main.fla.
i want to make “thumbnail_mc” alpha = 100 when “externalSWF1” is through playing. so i figured that i would need a frame action in the last frame of “externalSWF1” to control "thumbnail_mc"s alpha - when “thumbnail_mc” rests on the main root timeline of main.fla document.
but i am not quite sure what the syntax would be or if it can be done.
thanks!
