FLASH: affect props of loaded movie

[Neal Cabage]

Guys,


I am doing a prof-of-concept demonstrating affecting the properties of a

movie that has been loaded into a parent movie.


I have an action attached to a button on the root of the parent movie, and a

movie clip that has loaded the SWF external movie in frame1 of the clip.  I

give a name to the instance of that movieClip on the root timeLine.  When

the button is pressed I can set properties of that movieClip - no problem

... except the properties of that clip that encapsulate the loaded SWF are

not affecting the encapsulated SWF.  I thought for sure that would work!


If not this way, how else might I affect the properties of that loaded clip?

What hook is available for referring to that swf as an object?

Specifically, I am would like to define the [X,Y] positions of the swf.  For

now, I am just testing an attempt to set the visibility.



Thanks.

Neal
