This is baffling me. I have a .swf that lets the user color select a
uniform, choose a color, and drop the color on a part of the uniform.
It works fine in _level0 but won't work in another level. It's NOT a
simple path issue, because what seems to be happening is that Flash
drops the LAST part of the target path when not in _Level0.
Here's the relevant code:
//
// get the piece of the uniform to be colored:
lastSlash=this._droptarget.lastIndexOf("/"); // correctly
returns "a" "b" or "c"
//
// now, construct the full path to that piece:
var myTarget="_root.uniforms.u."+this._droptarget.substring(lastSlash+1);
//
// color the uniform dropTarget using the color that was chosen (_global.rgb):
targetColor=new Color(myTarget);
targetColor.setRGB("0x"+_global.rgb);
//
Now here's what I find strange:
When testing this playing in _level0, I can get this correct trace:
trace(myTarget); // returns "_root.uniforms.u.a"
But if I test from another movie that loads this swf into another
level, I get this trace:
trace(myTarget); // returns "_root.uniforms.u"
Notice it drops the last element of the target, so the parent gets
colored by mistake.
I can't figure out why the target would parse differently inside
different levels, but for the purposes of this application I do need
to run the swf in a level other than _level0.
TIA,
Marc
