globalToLocal (MovieClip.globalToLocal method)
_lockroot (MovieClip._lockroot property)
public _lockroot : Boolean
A Boolean value that specifies what _root refers to when a SWF file is loaded into a movie
clip. The _lockroot property is undefined by default. You can set this property within the
SWF file that is being loaded or in the handler that is loading the movie clip.
For example, suppose you have a document called Games.fla that lets a user choose a game to
play, and loads the game (for example, Chess.swf) into the game_mc movie clip. Make sure
that, after being loaded into Games.swf, any use of _root in Chess.swf will refer to _root in
Chess.swf (not _root in Games.swf). If you have access to Chess.fla and publish it to Flash
Player 7 or later, you can add this statement to Chess.fla on the main Timeline:
this._lockroot = true;
If you don't have access to Chess.fla (for example, if you are loading Chess.swf from someone
else's site into chess_mc), you can set the Chess.swf _lockroot property when you load it.
Place the following ActionScript on the main Timeline of Games.fla:
chess_mc._lockroot = true;
In this case, Chess.swf can be published for any version of Flash Player, as long as Games.swf
is published for Flash Player 7 or later.
When calling loadMovie(), set the MovieClip._lockroot property to true in the loader
movie, as shown in the following code. If you don't set _lockroot to true in the loader
movie, any references to _root in the loaded movie point to the _root of the loader instead of
the _root of the loaded movie:
myMovieClip._lockroot = true;
