ok i posted last night and i got the impression i wasn’t very clear on what i wanted, sorry. this fla might make it easier to see.
basically when you use the regular moieclip event handlers (putting scripts right on movies) you can load jpgs or other movies into that clip and the scripts still run. If you use dynamic handlers the script gets erased somehow. take a look at this zip file. you’ll have to comment out the first stop in order to run the second part.
i’m looking for an answer on either why this is, or the way to make it work.
thanks
it shouldn’t matter how you assign event handlers to a clip. when a movie is loaded into another clip all of the content and any code the original clip contains will be overwritten with the loaded clip.
that would make sense, but for some reason that’s not how it works. check out the zip file
