ok, one company built the template that my code gets loaded into.

To fix some bugs, they decided to compile to MX.

My code uses the flash pro V2 component Alert.


Question: If a .swf is compiled in flash 2004 pro and that .swf is loaded into a .swf that is compiled with an older version of flash... what happens?

Does my .swf lose the functionality of the V2 Alert component?

The functionality of your SWF is totally dependant of the Flash Player in which it is being played.

So are you saying that it doesn't matter how the template is compiled, my code should work?

[deQue]

If it's compatible wit the template's code - yes.
If it's using some MX2004-specific code to communicate with the template, it will most likely not work.

[Goaler]

hmm. No, I am not communicating with the template at all. As far as I know (I don't have the source for the template) the template only loads my .swf in.

[deQue]

Then it should work fine.

[Goaler]

Then this is really puzzling me. My alert function works great when I test my movie on my desktop, but when I put it on the server the alert box never comes up.

Are we back to the _lockroot issue?

[deQue]

I don't know. Try putting a dynamic textfield on your stage and trace your _root into it. See if the root remains the same, or if it changes.
