Not sure if anyone can help me on this.

I have a swf called player. In the player document is a movie clip called emptyClip. A second swf, called concept, is loaded into emptyclip using loadMovie();

From the concept swf, how do I refer to the player swf?

The problem I'm having is that an external script file works when included in the player document but not when included in the concept document. I want to keep this file in the concept document if at all possible.

Any ideas? I've tried several variations of _parent, _root and .emptyclip but haven't had any success yet.

I thought I'd go ahead and kick off the useless replies to this Flash thread by saying that I have no idea how to solve this or experience in doing so, but I could post a lot of replies to this thread if you think that might help. Wink

From the player.swf.

emptyClip.loadMovie("concept.swf");

emptyClip.properties = true;
emptyClip.methods();
