Question : loadMovie() within a loaded movie???

I've created a swf file (sub.swf) that contains a Movie Clip named "MC_MP3". I can load swf files into that mc using loadMovie("xxx.swf",MC_MP3) without a problem. That all works great within the Flash environment and when I run the sub.swf on its own.

Here's my problem:

I've created a SWF player (player.swf) that uses the same method above to load swf files. When I tried to load sub.swf into that player, the loadMovie("xxx.swf",MC_MP3) function within that file seems to not work.

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong????

Answer : loadMovie() within a loaded movie???

you would use this:

loadMovie("sub.swf", "_root.playWin");

In my example I only loaded the sub.swf into the root of the movie, so that is why I used "this"

so now in your example there is yet another movieclip that is in the path order...

so try this in the sub.swf file:

loadMovie("sub.swf", "_root.playWin.MC_MP3");


this should work...


It seems more dificult, because of all of the extra movieclips that things are being loaded into...  you are loading a SWF into a movieclip which then loads another SWF into yet another movieclip...  so the xxx.swf is 4 levels deep
