Scroll Pane -loading swf

[rach236]

Hi All,

This is something i am confused about and am having problems with at the moment. I have just built a swf which i want to import into a scroll pane. The swf I am importing has a series of movie clips in it and quite a bit of script. In this swf i have used script such as

_root.[button]...etc

and

_root.reel_mc["cell"+i].titleText_txt

where reel is a mc on the main frame cell a mc in reel and titleText_txt an instance name in the cell mc.

When I import this swf to the scroll panel all these are now wrong so nothing happens. I have tried changing the _root with _parent and also adding scrollPanel to the chain of movies (this is the instance name i have given my scroll panel) neither seems to work. I am confused by the difference between _root and _parent and the whole level thing!!

So firstly is there a way of changing these so it works? I also want to import the scroll panel swf into another swf so i am going to get more problems here.

Secondly, once I change all these, when i publish my content stuff nothing will work unless I view it in the scroll panel. Is there any way of getting round this?

I hope you understand this I think I may have rambled a little:rolleyes:
Thanks!

put on the first frame of your loaded content :

this._lockroot=true

and try it (it may help)

parent is a relative path //your parents arent the same as from your best friend ;)
root an absolute //from where ever it will always point to _root

an mc on root in this an other mc --> _root.mc.mc
_root.mc._parent --> _root
_root.mc.mc._parent --> _root.mc
