Re: FLASH: Loaded swfs that do not function the same-HELP!

[Karin Christensen]

Hi Nathalie,

In many cases you need to include the instance name of the mc that is

the target that the swf is loading into in the actions scripting

pathways of the new swf.  One way I found to trace the problems is to

load the swf under test movie mode, then go to view/ list variables.

You will see the instance name of the mc included in the pathways were

it needs to be.  Then you can go back to the swf and edit those

pathways to include the instance name.
