Try opening in a window like you were, then cycling through the members in the window movie's castLibs looking for a #flash member. Try this: -- on extractMembers tType, dName aWindow = window("probe") aWindow.fileName = dName tell aWindow nLibs = the number of castLibs repeat with l = 1 to nLibs nMems = the number of members of castLib l repeat with m = 1 to nMems if member(m,l).type = tType then tMedia = member(m,l).media tell (the stage) tMem = new(tType) tMem.media = tMedia end tell end if end repeat end repeat end tell aWindow.forget() end -- call this function with something like this from your message window: extractMembers(#flash, "flashMem") HTH, -Sean.
