attachMovie not working in Flash 8
Hi guys,
I'm trying the 30 day trial of Flash 8.
I'm continuing with a project I was doing in Flash 5. When I publish for "Flash Player 5", everything works as before, but there are problems if I publish for "Flash Player 8" (with AS1 or AS2.)
I have the unique content being loaded via "attachMovie" from the library with linkage properties. But they are not loading now !!!
I tried making a new swf and seeing if I could get attachMovie to work in the same way and it did! Is there a problem with this when you update older Flash documents?
BTW - when testing the movie, there are no error messages in the output. Further, it works for Flash Player 6 but not 7.
Thanks for your help,
Chris
thx for responding, but...
I went through all of that before I posted my original request for help; everything under linkage properties is fine - same as before.
But did you mean that I have to change it to something different to kick start it working?
I've just changed the names under linkage properties (putting "the" in front of everything) and my script accordingly, but same problem: works when published with "Flash Player 5 & 6" but not "Flash Player 7 or 8".
Does anyone have any ideas or encountered this before?
Thx
Chris
