fla is attached

this is all i have on maintimeline of main.swf

createEmptyMovieClip(“content”, 10);  
content.\_x = 10;  
content.\_y = 10;  
content.onEnterFrame = function() {  
trace(\_root.\_url);  
}  
content.loadMovie(“stuff1.swf”);

The problem seems to happen only wenn u create mc dynamicly.

onEnterFrame stops tracing as soon u try to load another movie  
in the content mc. the mc and the prototypes seem to be overwriten, but from main movie the referenz \_level0.content ist still functional.

is this a bug, or is just sily me?

thoes anybody knows a reasen or workaround ?

Old problem: Loading in a clip erases everything in that clip, including handlers. Try instead to load in a container clip located inside content:

```auto
createEmptyMovieClip("content", 10);
content._x = 10;
content._y = 10;
content.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace(_root._url);
}
content.createEmptyMovieClip("container",0);
content.container.loadMovie("stuff1.swf");

```

pom 🙂

like:

createEmptyMovieClip(“content”, 10);  
content.\_x = 10;  
content.\_y = 10;  
function tellMe() {  
//callback( property, oldvalue, newvalue [, data])  
for (var e=0; e\<arguments.length;e++) {  
trace(arguments[e]);  
}  
}  
content.watch(“onEnterFrame”, tellMe);  
content.onEnterFrame = function() {  
trace(\_root.\_url);  
};  
content.loadMovie(“stuff1.swf”);

and

“loading into a clip deletes the clip events running on that clip”

is not true if the clip is on stage
