Hello,
I realize that _lockroot disappeared from AS3.
However, when my AS3 loader loads SOME of my older AS2 movies using Loader.load(), I am observing some strange behavior.
After trying various things, I tried adding “_lockroot = true” to the external movies themselves.
The moment I did this, the quirky movie behavior (probably the gotoandplay’s not targeting correctly) disappeared. I tried this in several flash files, some from other developers, and in all cases adding _lockroot = true to the file to be loaded solved the problems.
Is there some way to set something in the AS3 loader itself to avoid such problems… instead of having to explicitly set _lockroot in all of the AS2 swf’s that are going to be loaded?
Thanks!
