F5 - loadMovie() problems

programming flash
1

Question: what sort of things change when you embed one flash movie into another? Point of reference: I have a flash-file, fairly heavy in script that I built so a novice-flashy guy at my client’s office could update a piece of the site that will be changing quite often. But, to my dismay, when I imported it into the parent flash movie, it is having serious scripting problems.

Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to make this completely public, due to the fact that this is a client’s site. I might be able to one-on-one if someone would be down to help.

I guess what I’m asking though, is if variables need to be completely unique between the two movies, or if references need to be reset. I just don’t understand why the ActionScript motion seemed to get all muddy when imported.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg

The main problem I can think of is if you’ve used _root. anywhere, this would now take the main movie as the _root level so you would need to change it to _parent or _parent._parent etc. as appropriate. apart from that, I can’t really think of anything.

I figured this out yesterday. Thanks so much for taking the time though. It is GREATLY appreciated.
