Question about Flash

[cncchick webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I have a main movie with some content. Then I have other movies that will preload and drop into certain parts of the Interface...

That's the simple part...

The external movies that have features like a scroll bar and drop down menu's etc etc, they won't work once they load into the main movie.

They're fine on their own. I've tested them. They just wont work as loaded clips.

Any suggestions, i'm sure it's very simple. I'm overlooking something!

Thanks if you can help.

Best to ask that question at the Flash forum, but my guess would be that you
refer to _root when you set the scroll properties. That will work fine when
the movies are tested alone, but when they are loaded into a parent movie
the _root reference will fail.

Using relative properties will get you around that problem, but again,
posting in the Flash forum is your best bet. Paste in the ActionScript that
controls the menu objects so someone can give you specific help.
