loadMovie

[darkson01]

i have a swf that has this code loacted in a keyframe

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	if (checklog == 2) {
		delete this.onEnterFrame;
		this.gotoAndPlay(27);
	}
	if (checklog == 1) {
		delete this.onEnterFrame;
		this.gotoAndPlay(15);
	}
};

now it works fine thwn i test the swf but when it's loaded into another swf through loadMovie it does not work! i tink it maybe something to do with this code, but the swf being loaded in also sends and loads variables. i'm not sure if that effects it because again, when i test that swf it works fine.

anyone got any ideas?

your EXTERNAL.SWF has to have NO _root references in its code...

if you use _root in the external.swf (the one being 'loaded' in)...

when viewing/testing the .swf by itself.. _root means the MAIN timeline of the EXTERNAL.swf.... once that .swf is loaded into ANOTHR .swf (the MAIN.swf for example).. all references to _root mean the MAIN.swf's timeline.. and NOT the main timeline of the .swf being loaded in? (make sense?)

once the external.swf has been loaded into another .swf.. the external.swf's timeline becomes the timeline of whatever object you just loaded your .swf into.

the gotoAndPlay is to effect the external swf's timeline not the main swf, so if i used _root in the external, won't that refer to the main swf's timeline?
