onSoundComplete from _level1

[js.prickly]

Hi All,
I have a main movie (_root) which loads an external swf file on level1.
The external swf file plays an external mp3 via a soundObject.
When the track ends I want my buttons to reset in the main movie.
I am trying to achieve this with the onSoundComplete command:

myMusic.onSoundComplete = function() {
_root.container.au_MC2.bplay1.gotoAndStop(5);
_root.container.au_MC2.bplay1.enabled = true;
_root.container.au_MC2.bplay1.useHandCursor = true;
_root.container.au_MC2.stop1._visible = false;

I've put this code in the external swf (which is loaded in level1)

Bit it isn't working!?
_level1 or _parent instead of _root isn't working either.

Can anyone help me out..please?

The main movie's timeline is on _level0 and not _root, when targeting the main timeline from a movie loaded on a level.

Try _level0!

Simple... Working with levels, main movie is _level0.
Working with container clips, main movie is _root.

sorry Old Newbie, my mistake...I mistyped that.
I meant _level0 instead of _level1 in the last sentence

But anyway that isn't working either..

other ideas?

Attach your .flas zipped up and in MX only format, not MX2004.

You would have to save a copy of your MX2004 .fla, (using Save as...) and changing the Document type to MX only in the Save as... window.

Ok got that solved.
I was loading this external swf from the server, while playing the main movie locally on the PC. Once I had them both on the same location and offcourse adapting the link to that it was working.

This makes sence offcourse. The externally loaded swf is still on a different location - in this case my PC - and therefor cannot target the main movie.

But thanx again for fast replies old newbie!

So did _level0 do the trick, once you had sorted that out?
