Access Components and loadMovie

[AstAn]

Hi

I use loadMovie to load a control into my flash movie.
When I trace the control from within the source movie, this is what I get: _level0.loadingProgressbar

This is the way I load the source movie:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip('screen_loading', _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.screen_loading.loadMovie('screens/loading.swf');

Now, I would expect my control to be placed here:_root.screen_loading._level0.loadingProgressb ar

I can access "_root.screen_loading._level0", but there is no "loadingProgressbar".

Can anyone help me?
And, of course the movie IS loaded.

greetings

when you load into an mc the main timeline of the external movie is targeted via the mc its loaded into so try

_root.screen_loading.loadingProgressbar

I already tried this and it does not work, no idea why.
It traces "undefined".

I found something new.
Ok, this is what I found out:

This is the code from the movie I load:
trace('obj1: '+ obj1);
trace('obj2: '+ obj2);

This is the code from the movie I load the other one in:
trace(_level0.localMarket.screen_loading.obj1);

And this is the result when I run the movie:
undefined
obj1: _level0.localMarket.screen_loading.obj1
obj2: _level0.localMarket.screen_loading.obj2

When I try to access the loaded movie from the outside, it says undefined.
When I try to access the loaded movie from the inside, it tells me exaclty the position I traced before.

Any idea?

The problem was that I did not wait until the clip was loaded. Don't know why this did not come to my mind earlier.

Thx anyway
