hi. i am modifying the radio script found at
http://www.onclipevent.com/radio/
i customized my own version and the one at onclipevent works fine. but i am loading my radio into an empty movie clip in another movie and its not working. the radio knobs work, but the music doesnt load. im guessing i have to put _root.blah blah blah somewhere in the code to make it work.
right now i have a movie, test.swf, that has an empty movie clip named “radio” test.swf loads radionew.swf (the actual radio) into the “radio” empty movie clip. this is where things stop working. the radionew.swf works fine on its own, but not when i load it into test.swf. can someone look at the action script and tell me what ive done wrong? ive included all the files and directory structure in a zip file at:
http://www.bandphotography.com/testradio.zip (711kb)
the empty movie clip that loads the music into the “music” empty movie clip in radio.swf is at frame 20 of the music layer.
any help would be appreciated!
