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

[Laura Mollett]

Ha, I got it! :) (Would be much faster if I just remembered that loading 

movies into movie clips puts them with the movie starting at the upper left

of the center point of the target movie... on my wish list - make everything

work from upper left or everything work centered but not some things one and

some things the other... oh and let you type in specific numbers to edit

center points not just move the little thing around.)


Anyways, yes a loaded movie takes the instance name of the target mc (when

you look at objects from test movie, there is no test.swf, it doesn't exist

anymore. You target "screen" (or whatever your movie clip instance is

named)) and you do need a blank frame (time for the movie to load completely

I guess) before you can get variables from it.


Thanks muchly Helen and Karen :)
