Hi, I am going nuts over this. I will explain what I have. I really do hope someone could help me on this one.
in the main swf, i load an external swf to it.
loadMovie(externalfile.swf, _root.content);
And then in the external swf, I have a varible named
frametogo = new String(none);
In the external swf I have a button that does this.
on (release) {
frametogo = 3;
this.textFade.gotoAndPlay(2);
this.anim.gotoAndPlay(36);
}
So it tells the textfade to go forward and in the middle of the textfade I have this action
this._parent.gotoAndStop(_root.frametogo);
All this works nicely when its played alone. but when its loaded to the main swf, the frametogo variable is not read in the textfade movie clip? I’m using Flash 6 on this.
all so on the first frame of the external and the main swf i have a action that goes like this
this._lockroot = true;
Can anyone get any sense of this?
Thank you, and I really appriciate if anyone can check what i have written here and maybe give it an anwser of some sort.
