the root is a movieclip, but it's empty... doesn't matter if you place other mc's on the stage. they are not INSIDE of the root.. they are just at the 'root' level. Make an empty movieclip and place it on the stage at a given point. Even if you try to do an onPress function on that clip it will not call because there is nothing to press. It's the exact same thing with the root level. Placing other clips on the stage is the equivalent of placing a second movieclip ON your empty one - not IN it.
I know that it's a confusing explanation... I hope I was able to explain it clearly... On 11/9/06, Ian Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hm. Having just tried it - with content on the stage - you're quite right. How odd.
