_lockroot and loadmovie issues
to be able to use _root in loaded movies, you can use _lockroot in flash 8.
this seems to leave the _root intact..
put this code in the first frame of the loaded movie..
// lock root
this._lockroot = true;
BUT , there are issues with loadMovie.
hitTest doesn’t seem to work across the levels..
or onRelease or flaming anything..
or is it just me..
still struggling with the code across levels..
flash 8 is not good on this issue..
also buttons inside movieclips across multi frames..
only the button on the first frame works..
try it.
flash 8 is getting frustrating. it cant do complex interaction programming..
