After a loadMovie(MovieA,_root.loadWindow); the action script of MovieA is not workin

[Attoc]

Hello,

I am coming back with my problem in case someone have not see it.

My MovieA (who is loaded and opened in my root movie called MainMovie) include some ActionScript in order to display an image only if the mouse rollover a specific zone. (I am using the _xmouse and _ymouse with some condition in order to do that).

I have loaded my movie using the following actionscript.

loadMovie(MovieA,_root.loadWindow);

This movie (MovieA) is working correctly when I launch it out of the MainMovie (In 'standalone'), but the thing is that it is not working when I load it in the MainMovie, the image is never displayed. Why ?

What do I have to do in order to make its actionscript work correctly ?

The 'base timeline' has changed since you loaded the movie into _root.loadWindow. Any paths in the loaded movie have to reflect its new position. Either relative ('this' '_parent') or absolute (_root.loadWindow.mcname) As you see with abolute paths, you use the host's instance name as 'base timeline'.

Even with your help I still have not make it work.
I give you more details. (I assure that is the last time :-))

Using the following ActionScript, I am loading the 'Gallery2.swf' movie in the 'Index2.1.swf' movie:
loadMovie ("gallery2.swf", _root.loadWindow);

The 'Gallery2.swf' movie includes the following Scipt:

x = _xmouse;
y = _ymouse;
Dist1 = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(Math.abs(_xmouse - 259.4),2) + Math.pow(Math.abs(_ymouse - 101.5),2));
Rate1 = Dist1/60;
if (x > 195.4 and y >49.5 and x <324 and y < 154 ) {
scalex = (-90*Rate1) +90;
setProperty ("/bichroblur+", _xscale, scalex);
setProperty ("/bichroblur+", _yscale, scalex);
} else {
setProperty ("/bichroblur+", _xscale, 0);
setProperty ("/bichroblur+", _yscale, 0);
}
gotoAndPlay (1);

('bichroblur+' is just a one frame movie clip with an image on it frame)

Like you told me, I have tried with '_root.loadWindow.gallery2.bichroblur+' in my setProperty action but nothing.

Thanks again.

You do not need the 'name' of the movie. Just the instance name. Therefore your '/' referencing to the main timeline of the loading movie now is the instance name of the 'host'. So:
_root.loadWindow.bichroblur should be good way to target instance bichroblur (I took off the '+' , not recomended in instance names)

Thanks to all of you.

And of course a special thanks to GPARIS.

My last question (before the next one), are you from Paris ?
