Hello, I’m making a new site but I got stuck. I hope someone can help me 'cause I just don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.
I made a “site” in which I load the other parts of the site, for example “scroller” (both in attachment). If you open “scroller” you’ll see it works just fine (I wish it would only skip one line at a time but that’s not that important). When you open “site” it loads “scroller” in it but the scroller doesn’t work anymore?!?
What did I do wrong? I guess it has something to do with the referrence path, but I can’t find the sollution.
Please help me if you know how to fix it.
Thanx a lot!

I think it’s because you load it from another swf. Which means that everything that was on root in scroller is now located in \_level0.scroller…

Thank you for your reaction Uli!
I replaced every [color=darkred]\_root.[/color] by [color=darkred]\_level0.scroller.[/color] but now the scroller doesn’t work in “scroller” or “site” anymore. I also tried to replace it by [color=darkred]\_root.scroller.[/color], [color=darkred]\_level0.site.scroller.[/color] and even [color=darkred]\_root.site.scroller.[/color] (probably a stupid idea) but again, no luck.
Maybe the actionscript on the buttons has to be changed aswell?!? Or maybe it must say scroller.swf or anything like that instead of just scroller??? Any other ideas???

Understand me. Everything that was created (by code) on \_root within scroller.swf will still be on \_root (ie. \_root.somevariable). But all the MCs created by hand on \_root in scroller.swf will be \_level0.scroller.yourMC in your site.swf
So maybe you changed too much stuff 🙂

You’re probably right, I’m too confused (or stupid :huh: to understand this. Now I changed the actionscript in the site.fla, but all I got was the same result.
I don’t like to work with levels, that’s why I used a target (called content). Isn’t their a way to avoid levels?
Thank you for looking!
