calling function from loaded swf
im trying to call a function from my loaded swf but I am not completely sure how to go about it.
to load my flash movie, I did:
flash1.Base = "http://mechquest.battleon.com/game/"
flash1.LoadMovie("http://mechquest.battleon.com/game/gamefiles/game3_9_23.swf")
The swf loads and plays fine, but I want to call functions from movie.swf by clicking a button.
I tried using this:
flash1.callFunction("_root.conn.loadQuestID(139)")
but that comes up with an error, I searched around the net for the error and I believe it happens either because the swf is protected.
So if i create another swf as a child of my main swf, then I can call its functions? I just want to be able to call functions from the loaded swf through VB or another loaded swf. If anyone can help me with this I'd appreciate it.
