Interaction between loaded MCs

[haslo]

Hi folks

I'm loading a swf into a level or ready-made MC as a container (I tried both) and then try to access a textfield variable inside that newly loaded swf - from the main timeline on level 0.

the loading works via:

loadMovieNum("other.swf", 3);

if I then try to access the text field via

_level3.textfield = "test";

, this does not seem to work. What do I do wrong?

Thanks for your help...

Is the textfield in level 3 looking for a variable in the main timeline of level 3 called "textfield"? Or are you just assuming that "textfield" will address the actual textfield object?

Try this ... highlight the textfield, open your TEXT OPTIONS panel, and in the box entitled "variable", type "text" (minus the "&quot. Then on the button in level 0 using this code:

_level3.textfield = "test";

change the code to this:

_level3.text = "test";
