RE: FLASH: LoadMovie and pathnames

[Paul Willoughby]

Hi Ryan,


One way to deal with this is wherever you see "/" in front of a variable

or target name in the movie you're loading, change it to

"/theNameOfTheMCYouLoadInto/originalTargetPathOrVar". For example:


Set Variable: "newX" = GetProperty("/scrollbar",_x)


...becomes...


Set Variable: "newX" =

GetProperty("/theNameOfTheMCYouLoadInto/scrollbar",_x)



If you see "../", *don't* change it as it's a relative path.
