Hmm, okay I think I've found the cause. Some time ago I posted an issue about using _lockroot. I have an application that runs some legacy content, which uses _lockroot even from non movieclip classes. When this content is loaded, unloaded and loaded again, _lockroot no longer works, and the _root it uses default to the main root. There were no takers on that one either by the way hehe, but it suffices to say that using _lockroot/_root is evil and using it from non movieclip classes is beyond evil ;) since the _root that _root points to (still following this one?) is determined by the swf that loaded the class and not by the swf using the class. argghg i just love flash greetz JC On Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 8:48 AM, Hans Wichman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Really no takers?

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: window create popup weirdness as2
Yes, unfortunately I found pretty early on that most V2 components require _lockroot _and_ that the component be included in both the loaded SWF and SWF that's loading it. So I stopped using V2 components. They're pretty rubbish. :-( Ian On Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 8:13 AM, Hans Wichman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hmm, okay I think I've found the cause.

Hi, yep same conclusions here. Add the fact that _lockroot is just plain buggy and you've got yourself a nice recipe for 'ZOMG WTF I WANT TO arhghg gurlglgl'.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: window create popup weirdness as2
In AS2, I didn't, actually. Our stuff is very simple (for very young kids) and mostly doesn't need form entry etc. Anything which _does_ need form entry and complicated stuff we're doing in AS3 with the Flex components.
