Well there are 2 ways. 1. Instead of onClipEvent handlers you can use on handlers ```auto on (release){ //do this } ``` Just like on a button. 2)On a frame (or inside an onClipEvent handler) you can do this… ```auto _root.yourClip.onRelease = function(){ //do this } ``` ---

You can´t mix different handlers in the same script. =) ---

ok another question, Is there a way to get the top level of a loaded movie? Ex: We all know \_root is the root of everything… now when i load a movie into say, \_root.loadThis and the movie i loaded has an MC called insideMc, then the path becomes \_root.loadThis.insideMc Is there a way to get the top level of the Movie that is loaded, i mean the loaded movie’s root? I tried \_parent, but it gets that object… and im dealing with dynamic stuff that i cant really manually tell how deep an mc can get… =) any ideas? ---

not really but i can try =) what i want to get is the root of the loaded Movie, not the root of the entire thing… I have movie1… and im loading in Movie2… Movie 2 has an MC and its absolute path is… \_root.McinsideofMovie2. when i load in movie 2, the absolute path becomes \_root.LoadedMc.McinsideofMovie2. But this thing im building is dynamic… I want to get the \_root of Movie2 so i can build code thats relative. I used \_parent, but its not working the way i want it to… thats the best that i can explain it. ---

lol i cant believe people like fish ball! lol I didnt put any effort in coding it =) perhaps i should =) But actually I have a game coming on soon =) * * * Back to my problem, I could to a \_root.loadedMovie, but im trying to control MC’s within MC’s and sometimes i neeed the path… I suppose i could get the path and parse it etc… its more work than its worth so… i’ll figure out another way lol =) ---

isn’t there a command that will return the entire path of an object? not sure if that could be used to solve the problem or not… but I certainly remember something about that. though I’m not sure if I understand the question either. ---

Im just looking for an objects path, relative to the movie itself, and not the movie in which its loading. \_parerent.mc will work, but what if its like 6 levels? \_parent.\_parent.\_parent.\_parent.\_parent.\_parent.mc i want to do something like this… \_ThisMovieRoot.whatever.whatever.mc instead of \_root.Loadedmc.loadedMovie.whatever.whatever.mc; never mind, i cant explain this any further lol , thanks for all your help =) ---

Now I understand you, sorry for the delay… Use \_level ! example: When you press a button on the main movie, you want to play the movieclip **ball** in the movie loaded in the **level 2** , the code for the button shoud look like this: on (press) { \_level2.ball.play(); } Got it? =) ---

would that work from the loaded movie all by itself (like if i want to test it before i load it in…) ? Also, does \_levels have control on where they are at (the x y values) ? Levels seems like it’ll work, but if the mc’s give me better control i’ll stick with em =) ---
