referencing lirbary graphics from an external swf

[LittleRed]

sorry - I'm sure this has been asked before, I've tried searching but couldn't find it.

I'm loading an external swf for each map level which holds the graphics for that level. Each of the external swfs has a movieclip set with a linkage name of 'tile'.
How can I reference that movieclip from the main swf though?
I've tried using the path of the MC that the external swf is loaded into and then the linkage identifer (ie. path.tile) but that's not worked.

*I think* you'll have to load your external .swf tileset into a new movieclip. that movieclip becomes your library so you can only attach tiles within that e.g

world = createEmptyMovieClip ( 'world', 1 )
world.loadMovie ( 'myswf' )
// when loaded
tile = world.attachMovie ( 'tile', 'name', depth )

you can't attach your tile clip to any other clip apart from the movieclip you have loaded the tileset into. (hope that made sense)

I think xmcnuggetx posted some .flas years ago

hope it helps
