Hi,

I have a main movie and then all the other sections loaded into it using loadMovie. One of the sections loaded in has a movie clip inside it that is trying to reference the top level of the movie it is in (not the main movie). I have tried level0 and parent but i think they are referencing the main movie (i.e. the \_root movie). Does anyone have any ideas ?

I hope i have made myself clear. Thanks
