Hi Flash Friends,
attachMovie works on a clip that is inside a clip that has been loaded
by attachMovie but fails on a clip that is inside a clip loaded with
loadMovie.
This should be so easy, but it is simply not working. I'd appreciate any
tips pointing me to the part that I don't understand ...
The setup:
- Main movie (mainMovie)
- A symbol (person1)
- A symbol (template1) that contains a movieClip (chair1)
- A swf (template2) in the same folder as the Main movie that contains a
similar movieClip (chair2)
THIS WORKS:
Load the symbol (template1) using attachMovie
attachMovie(template1, "mainMovie", 250); //hardcoded depth here for
clearness
On release of a button, attach a symbol to a the chair1 movieClip inside
template1
template1.chair1.attachMovie("person1", "person1", 101); //hardcoded
depth here for clearness
THIS DOESN'T WORK:
(keeping everything the same except loading the movie from an external
source...)
Load the swf (template2.swf) using loadMovie
mainMovie.loadMovie(chosenTemplate);
On release of a button, attach a symbol to a the chair2 movieClip inside
template1
Template2.chair2.attachMovie("person1", "person1", 101); //hardcoded
depth here for clearness
Is there some limitation to attachMovie that I'm missing? Any guesses,
suggestions, ideas?
Thanks,
Chris
