Hmm Peter I guess we agree but the way you word it "_root is a direct reference to the main timeline of the current level." just didn't sound like right to me. But again I guess we are saying the same thing. In essense _root and _level0 are always the same thing the MAIN timeline, and yes you CAN load a swf into that level I've never seen much point in that.
The mistake that was being described here was a movie clip referencing itself by it's name doesn't work and you must use this or it's full reference in this case _root.mc1
All good. I too hope the conversation didn't confuse but in fact helped.
