Problem with loadMovie() 1

[ToddWW]

I've got a flash intro that I purchased from a template site. I am loading it into my flash project using loadMovie(). The .swf loads fine however within the .swf there are many references to _root. I assume the author didn't anticipate anyone loading this .swf into a parent flash movie. For example.

In the preloader of the intro .swf, there is the statement

_root.gotoAndPlay(2);

So obviously what's happening is that the main .swf is returning the playhead to frame 2.

Any suggestions. Can I give the intro .swf a name or variable and then replace all of the

_root

statements with that name or variable.

Any help would be appreciated.

Or can I load the movie into a different level? I still need the two movie clips to be able to talk to each other. For example, I need a button in the main .swf to be able to manipulate the intro .swf

You could load that movie on another level, then the references to _root would cause no problems...

Or you can use _lockroot in your main movie, but applying it your loaded in movie...
