That was kind of my point. He thought the issue was with lockroot, and I was trying to say that the issue was probably the fact that the first version of the class is used (which was loaded before the lockroot).
Every case that I've run into where the root wasn't preserved by using lockroot was when the class that referenced root had already been loaded. --Brian On 3/3/07, Ian Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Brian, I think what you're talking about is a different phenomenon. The Flash Player always uses the _first version_ of any class that it loads. So if your parent movie has a class com.mydomain.SomeClass, and your .swf that loads into your parten movie has a different class com.mydomain.SomeClass, then the first one will always be the one used. So be very careful with package naming. :-) There is a way around it, if you really need to get around it: before loading your second .swf, call: delete _global.com.mydomain.SomeClass; Any instances of SomeClass which already exist in the parent will be fine. And the loaded .swf will use the 'right' version of the class. But it's not without dangers - you can never create an instance of the original version of the class again. I'd only use that trick if you really really need it. In short - be careful what you're doing with naming. :-) Avoid name collisions.
