First, hello everybody, some great forum you have here as far as I can tell.

Now, for my first little problem.

I created a full game in flash (you can check it in my [webpage](http://www.gongames.com.ar)), and am working in the second one already.

For when I am finished, I want to change my website above to be fully made on Flash, loading each game in the same empty movieClip depending on people’s choice.

I had done that already, loading them. But -

- Inside each of those games I reference many times to “\_root”, which I am guessing now has switched to the real “\_root”, and that is why not much (nothing) is working. Do I really have to go through all the code changing the references, or is there a better way to do this? Is it posible to make the external loaded file more independent from its host?

Still a lot to learn… still a lot to learn… :red:

Thanks!
