Re: FLASH: affect props of loaded movie

[Cheri Harder]

Neal, are you using Load into target and specifying the movie clip instance

as the target?  Or are you using Load into a level.  If into the movie clip

as a target, then the properties you change of the movie clip should

definately affect the properties of the loaded movie (it did when I just

tried it).  If into the "level" then the new movie is not really

encapsulated into the movie clip, but loading into another level altogether,

and will have to be referred to as _level2  or whatever level you used (note

that the underscore is part of the name)
