MediaDisplay and target Levels

I have an annoying problem I need some help with. I have a project that uses several separate SWF's that load into different levels. At one point, one of the files is supposed to show a MediaDisplay component with a linked FLV. The SWF that contains this component is in Level 1. As the playhead reaches the frame with the component, the movie hangs up and, after a short wait, I get an error message that says "There is a script that is making Flash run slow. If you choose to continue the script, Flash may shut down." (my paraphrase)

What makes this so annoying is that I can play this SWF by itself (Level 0) and it runs just fine. Since there is no AS on the frame with the component, other than stop();, I can only imagine that the Levels have something to do with this. I can't find any documentation for or against this. Does anyonme know what the problem might be? If you need more info, let me know.

Thanks!

try this (on first frame of swf containing component):

_lockroot=true

I had this problem the other day. Very strange... I tried using lockroot and no dice. I messed with it for a while, but nothing seemed to work. A work around is to create a blank movie clip on your _level0 and use the loadMovie command to swap in the swf for the blank movie clip.

loadMovie("my.swf","movHolder_mc");
