When looking for _root variables, I came across the variable "_level0/:_lockroot" - Does anyone know what this does? Does it lock the root vars from view, if so, what can we do to find them?

You can use _lockroot to target content as a way to solve the scoping issues sometimes associated with the inappropriate use of _root. Although this solves many problems with applications, consider _lockroot as a work-around for problems caused by using _root. If you experience problems loading content into a SWF file or a component instance, try applying _lockroot to a movie clip that loads the content. For example, if you have a movie clip called myClip loading content, and it stops working after it is loaded, try using the following code, which is placed on a timeline:

Code: [Select]

this._lockroot = true;
