Loading Movie into MC looses action control

[niko11]

Hi
I'm developing a little interactive interface which loads various .SWFs into a placeholding MC.

_root.apertura.mainclip.container

I'm loading into the MC instead of on levels so that I can better control the placement of the loaded movie.

The problem is, when the movies are loaded, I'm losing control of some of the actions because they are targeted to that .SWFsmain timeline. They work OK if they are downloaded to _level0 of new timeline or played as alone swf movies.

How do I specify the paths in my external files so that are recognized when loaded into the Host movie? I try unsuccesfully with absolute paths for variables.

Thanks for any advice!
Niko

if your targetting your initial movie's main timeline from within one of your loaded mc's use "_level0" as the target notation.

Hard to tell from your desription exactly what's going wrong.
