Actionscript 2.0 :: _lockroot Not Working Properly On Sounds?

i took inspiration from the tutorial for the mp3 player (some code will surely look familiar to some of you) to build up a music player that plays songs from a defined array, and made it fully working. Somehow proud of it, i consider myself intermediate in ASing Now, the problem is that then i load this music player into a main.swf there's no sound."hey you surely forgot to add _lockroot". Ehm, no. Actually i did several tries with it. This is why i'm here

Architecture:

- one Main Movieclip (mainmovie.swf);
- one Music player (musicplayer.swf);

Music player is loaded into Main Movieclip through a loadMovie call; absolute path to target would be _root.mp3cont (in Main Movieclip obviously); the loadMovie call happens on the AS layer in the _root of Main Movieclip; about the Music player:

- there's a movieclip on the main timeline that acts as container. Name is "sound_clips";
- the music player is INSIDE the mc "sound_clips";
- music player works with attachSound;

This is the code on the AS layer:

Code: Select allimport gs.*;
import gs.easing.*;
OverwriteManager.init

[code]....

1. I tried to insert Code: Select allthis._lockroot = true; on the FIRST FRAME of the Music player root, that has, as said before, a movieclip named "sound_clips" that contains actually the music player (AS + slider AS); - Didn't work.

2. I tried to insert Code: Select allmp3cont._lockroot = true; on the FIRST FRAME of the Main Movieclip root, where i have mp3cont as container mc for that swf that is load through a loadMovie("musicplayer.swf", "mp3cont"); call. Didn't work either.

3. I created a new file (a blank .fla) with just the loadMovie call and the mp3cont._lockroot = true; (obviously on separated layers) method to see if it actually worked. Didn't work.

4. I removed the container in the music player and put all the stuff on the _root, so the code for both the attachSound and the volume slider are on _root. Placed a big phat this._lockroot = true; but didn't work. Also didn't work with the following ones (the music player IS STILL working):

- this.s._lockroot = true; (put AFTER after the definition of the sound object obviously, as s is not yet defined)
- this._parent._lockroot = true;

5. Without the above mentioned container i tried placing it in the swf that actually loads it, and even tried MovieClipLoader and loadMovie. This is the last attempt:

Code: Select allthis.createEmptyMovieClip("sound", this.getNextHighestDepth());
sound._lockroot = true;
sound.loadMovie("musicplayer.swf");
