Hi Flash Friends,
attachMovie works on a clip that is inside a clip that has been loaded by attachMovie but fails on a clip that is inside a clip loaded with loadMovie. This should be so easy, but it is simply not working. I'd appreciate any tips pointing me to the part that I don't understand ... The setup: - Main movie (mainMovie) - A symbol (person1) - A symbol (template1) that contains a movieClip (chair1) - A swf (template2) in the same folder as the Main movie that contains a similar movieClip (chair2) THIS WORKS: Load the symbol (template1) using attachMovie attachMovie(template1, "mainMovie", 250); //hardcoded depth here for clearness On release of a button, attach a symbol to a the chair1 movieClip inside template1 template1.chair1.attachMovie("person1", "person1", 101); //hardcoded depth here for clearness THIS DOESN'T WORK: (keeping everything the same except loading the movie from an external source...) Load the swf (template2.swf) using loadMovie mainMovie.loadMovie(chosenTemplate); On release of a button, attach a symbol to a the chair2 movieClip inside template1 Template2.chair2.attachMovie("person1", "person1", 101); //hardcoded depth here for clearness Is there some limitation to attachMovie that I'm missing? Any guesses, suggestions, ideas?
