Hi there, hope you can help:

I have an swf simply loading variables into a container from a cf template, then passing those variables into dynamic text fields. It works fine when loaded on its own, but the problem starts when I load this .swf into another movie using loadmovie() - it doesn’t load the variables anymore. I’ve tried using shortcuts like \_parent.variablename, \_root.content.variablename etc. and can’t get it to work.

root movie loads content movie as ‘content’, and this ‘content’ movie is the above .swf with the path problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

PS forgot to mention I do get an empty cursor over where the variables whould be loaded.
