Re: FLASH: parent&child

[Michael@BTW]

Bring the child onstage in a frame that does not contain any of the buttons

of the parent, and when the child is taken off stage, return to the parent's

frames.


Anyone know if the 'click through' bug of movies in different layers has

been corrected in F5?


If you load/unload, the parent _should_ stay in the cache (with such small

swfs), however of course this is dependent on the size of the cache and how

many files are in it.
