hey, i got a question about naming, if you load an external swf into an other swf.

i found a great tutorial on this website about dragging and dropping with the droptarget.

the code is:

on (press) {  
startDrag("\_parent.zonnetje");  
}  
on (release) {  
stopDrag();  
if (\_parent.zonnetje.\_droptarget == “/vogels”) {  
\_parent.gotoAndPlay(58);  
}  
}

Now this works in the swf. but when i import the swf into an other swf it doesn’t reconize the vogels movieclip.

so i think i have to give “/vogels” an other name but i allready tried with \_parent.vogels and \_root.vogels none of them work.

anybody knows how i can solve this problem.
