loadMovie / loadMovieNum

[masterhit]

What is the difference, if any, between loadMovie and loadMovieNum?

[Jesse]

loadMOvie = load into a target movie clip
loadMOvieNum = load into a level

Aha, I see. But when I did some first experiments with loading movies I used loadMovie to load into levels, and it worked fine?

[Jesse]

luck? according to Colin Moock's ActionScrpit: The Definitive Guide "... loadMoveNum() can load movies only into document levels..." and that info comes right from the mouth of MM so I'm inclined to trust it :)

Heh, well take his word over mine every day :)

But:

"... loadMoveNum() can load movies only into document levels..."

can be true even if loadMovie can load both to levels and mc's, I guess. I know it worked. Seems like there should be some point in using LoadMovieNum? But it is not even mentioned in the help files of Flash, I have not found it anyway. Nevermind, now I know the difference. Thank's for the help Jesse, I am desperately seeking some question a newbie like me can answer, found one once but you beat me to it :) Well, I can head over to site check, at least there I can give something back to the forum :)
