Hello All
I'm killing myself trying to do what I think should be pretty simple.
I need to know how the whole levels thing works in terms of having a movie clip which loads dynamic data. I can get this to work but only from the main stage as soon as I try to do the same thing but in a symbol object it stops working. From the reading I've done it looks like I have to specify a level? I've read about "_root" and "_this" but don't know what they mean.
what are the required steps? also in regards to this where should my "loadVariablesNum" code live eg "main stage or with in symbol object with the text box
