Re: FLASH: Get Propery of a MC loaded in a target

[Karin Christensen]

Hi Laura,

I think the path to the loaded movie would be this:

GetProperty ("/screen/test.swf", _height)

(if screen is on the main time line)

When you test the movie look at the variables and objects, it will

give

you the pathways.  Most of the actions in your loaded movie need to

include

the name of the mc that it is replacing.
