No access to server.fla ...I just lost it, but I know it was done in CS3. I'm using CS4 w/AS2, and I cannot get this movie to work with:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc1", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc1._lockroot = true;
mc1.loadMovie("server.swf");
The SWF file is here. The bar animation I wrote on the bottom won't run unless the swf is loaded stand-alone.

No time to rewrite from scratch... :(

Some folks at actionscript.org even decompiled & added _lockroot and it still wouldn't respect the parameter!

I'm out of ideas! Anyone up to the challenge?

TIA!
