Re: FLASH: DRAG/DROP WITH EVALUATION and Load Movie

[Karin Christensen]

Hi Gian

When you load into target you need to include the instance name of the

target mc in many of the pathways of the actions in the swf that is

being loaded.  One way to tell where you need to include it is to view

it in test movie mode then view and list the variables.  You will see

where the instance name has been added.  Then go back to the swf and

type in the pathways to include the instance name.  If loading into a

level you probably need to include the level number.  I haven't yet

tried the same thing with loading into levels so I can't advise on

that but I really struggled with drop target evaluations when loading

into target to get them to work.
