Movies Communication

[Neworld]

Hi everyone.

I'm building a map movie that opens another movie using the loadMovieNum function loadMovieNum("scatola.swf", 1);

The problem is that I'm not able to make the two movies comunicate by themself.

Can someone help with this?


Thanks to all

Use LoadMovie instead, it will be simpler. Then you can just adress you movies this, _parent etc.

You are saying this:

in the button of the first movie:
on(release){
varName1 = "var description";
loadMovie("movie_two.swf");
}

and in the second movie:
varName2 = _parent.varName1;

is this correct?

More or less//code on frame
this.clip.loadMovie("myfile.swf");
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(clip._width>0){
trace(this.myvar);
}
}
//in the loaded swf
this._parent.myvar = "hello";

that is for sending a var from movie_two to movie one. Right?

its one of the ways, it depends what youre trying to do.
