programming flash

everytime i load an external .swf into main, it just acts different then it supposed to.

the loadMovie line i’m using is

loadMovie(“some.swf”,“balnkMC”);
this. worked this same way
_root,_parent didn’t work .

please help?

Thanks

one external .swf (Random Moving circles…tutorails on this site),the circles pop up here & there ,rather than smoothly move to new position.

2nd external swf is the random background

, instead of changing background as curser moves over it, it doesn’t do jack.

so…there must be something i am missing…here…wt is it?

there is no _root._parent

if you load a movie into a movieclip, the _root in that movie is no longer the _root if it was playing alone because now the entire movie is within a movieclip within the real current _root. Saying _root in that loaded movie will access the _root of the main movie since the term _root always accesses the _root of that level. If you loaded it into a level, using _root would be the same if it was playing alone

r u saying that i should load any other swf into levels rather than straight to main movie…if So How?
