    Default calling behavior from external cast

    Hi All

    Having trouble figuring how to call a behavior from an external cast. Can anyone point me in the right direction - esp regarding the lingo syntax.

    Many thanks
    Jason

    Default Re: calling behavior from external cast

    The external cast MUST be linked to the current movie in order to access
    it's contents. You can change the a cast's external cast file on the
    fly by change the filename of the castLibrary.

    Default Re: calling behavior from external cast

    here is what I'm doing.

    In the movie I have two casts; "Internal" and "Holding".

    Externaly I have another cast; "User". This cast contains the behavoir I want to call.

    On startmovie I use fileName to assign the cast "User" to the "Holding" cast. My problem is, that I can't find the right lingo to call the behavoir from the "Holding" cast.

    Any ideas??
