problem with loadMovie(String, int)

[goaganesha]

Hi there,
Why won't this movie load?
according to the outputwindow _root.top =11

on (release) {

_root.top++;
trace(_root.top);

loadMovie ("movie.swf",_root.top);
}

When I use this code it works fine:

on (release)
{
loadMovie ("movie.swf",11);
}

So my question is: why is var _root.top not recognized in the loadMovie method?

regards, goaganesha

I have managed to get a similiar situation to work using:

loadMovie ("movie.swf",interger(_root.top));

It seems Flash would like assurances that you are sending in a number and not a string.

Thank you for your reply, gagslondon
But it still won't work
here's what I tried:
loadMovie ("movie.swf",integer(_root.top));
loadMovie ("movie.swf",Integer(_root.top));
loadMovie ("movie.swf",int(_root.top));
loadMovie ("movie.swf",Integer.parseInt(_root.top));

Maybe you can check the code again in your example where it did work?

Thanks again, Goaganesha
