Target paths and loadMovie
i was wondering if there is a way to reference the main timeline of a swf that is loaded into another swf with loadMovie--but keep the actionscript functionality of the loaded swf when editing individually.
I know, confusing..but i will try to make it as clear as possible.
I will refer to the main swf that is loading the other swf as main.swf and the swf being loaded as loaded.swf
when i refer to the main timeline in loaded.swf i use _root but the problem is when i load loadedswf into main.swf (using loadMovie) Flash thinks (by using _root in loaded.swf to reference its main timeline) i mean to reference the main timeline of main.swf--which is not what i want.
so, my question is: is there a way to reference ONLY the main timeline of loaded.swf? (somehow a more specific target path to only loadedswf's main timeline)
(the reason being when i edit loadedswf.fla none of the functionality works if i have to change the target paths to account for the root timeline and the movieclip in main.swf)
if you need me to clarify anything feel free to ask :)
Thanks,
Lex
