I'm absolutely not SAD. In fact I'm very happy with AS3 since its very powerfull and finally looks like a OOP language.

I discovered that you can still access the root by doing MovieClip(root).movieclip1


I do wonder however if this would also work for a externally loaded .swf




by the way. If I want to load a movie from an external .swf , then in most docs which I find they create a new movieclip, load the sxf content in it and add it as a child where it needs to be added.

Isn't there a way to load an external .swf into an allready existing movieclip on the stage ?
