hi, I have two swf file.

Let say A is the main movie and B will be a external swf file that i’m going to load into A movie.

The problems is that, some actionscript(AS) in my B movie is not working anymore after i load it into A movie. I believe that the AS in my B movie is not working anymore because it is refer to A as the \_root instead of B movie as \_root.

This can be a common problem. So, i wonder what should i change in the B movie AS in order to make it work in A movie.

Thank you

sorry for the bad english.☹

What exactly is your ActionScript?

Say for example:  
You have a button in B movie.  
You want that button, when pressed, to go somewhere in A movie… then you would use _\_root._ in your ActionScript.  
So the script on your button would look like this:[AS]on (release) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(“FrameLabel”);  
}[/AS]Sorry if I’m not answering your question… I’m kind of having a hard time understanding what it is you’re asking exactly.

Thank you for reply. Your AS is for B movie to control A movie. What i want to do is B movie control B movie. I hope you understand what i’m trying to do.

Really sorry for the bad explaination

Oh, then you don’t need to define any level, this should do it:[AS]on (release) {  
gotoAndPlay(“FrameLabel”);  
}[/AS]
