I have read over Peldi's blog entry "A new AS best practice: be
prepared to be loadMovie'd!" and I am not prepared  ;)

I am struggling with this in a videoplayer. The player is database
driven, and the parameters for the path, client, video etc come from
mysql. So a php call retrurns initial data that is sent to the swf
which then gets the actual video details from mysql through PHPObject
remoting. All works great, except when 2 months later the client
decides to build a flash interface around the player. Out goes the
preloader, and broken is the video due to those _root. variables
being set.

Anyone have some advice on handling this? The loadMovie call will
have to include the necessary variables like client_id, category, and
media_id. Is this even possible in loadMovie, across domains?

Thanks,

Sean

Couldn't you just set the necessary variables on the loaded movie once it's
loaded?

Not sure about which variables are loosing scope....  If you want to leave
the logic inside the movie that is getting loaded maybe this will help...

this._lockroot = true;

hope this helps
