hello all,
I have a quick question about loading external swfs into the _root of my main swf. The swf that I am loading into a mc also calls upon root within itself. When I load the mc the only thing I see is the picture, no buttons or background. I think that there is a conflict with _root in both swf. I have tried replacing the _root with _global, _parent. for both swfs with no avail.
Could really use your help with this. Could you tell me what I can change the _root to for this swf that loads into the main.
