[Flashcoders] Clip Losing Track of Parent Clip

2006-12-05 Thread Jason Lutes
We have a bunch of clips that we are loading via MovieClipLoader that are 
losing track of their containing clips (_parent). Flash correctly reports the 
parent clip within the onLoadStart event handler, but absolutely nowhere else. 
Even after the clip has fully loaded and we ask it to report _parent in a trace 
statement, it returns undefined. This only happens when the movie plays from 
a network through a browser, and seems to happen only when the movie is 
published for the Flash 8 player.

Notes: The loaded clips are dynamically created/loaded and so we don't know 
ahead of time certain things about them. We must be able to reference the 
parent clip. Additionally, the application requires publishing to Flash Player 
8.

Correction: When I said trace statement (below) I actually meant a text field 
we set up in the movie to report _parent within the various test environments.
