I know! And it's extremely frustrating because everything seems to work when I run it in flash. I'm on a mac...tested it with FF, Safari and mac IE. It doesn't work on any. I'm using _lockroot for the external SWF's so that the components inside them work properly...not sure I can access the main flash _root vars that way...is there another way I should do that?

What about IE do you have the same problems there? Have you tried just setting the values in the main flash as _root vars and then just trying to access them from the various loaded swfs?
