Hi!

Is there anybody who can help me with a simple (?) problem:

I have loded a movieclip into a movie:

var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcl.loadClip("Legend_movie.swf",legend_mc);

In the main movie a variable is changed by on EnterFrame:

figure_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
size = circle_map_mc._width;
}

The variable "size" is also used by the movie clip.

Can anybody tell me how the movie clip can be updated for each "onEnterFrame"?

At the moment the movie Clip only reads the variable "size" at the first frame...

if size is declared on your main timeline, access it from your mc using _root.size

Hi!

Actually it is circle_map_mc that is declared on the main timeline and changes in a motion tween....

In my movie clip I have tried:

shadow_mc._width = _level0.circle_map_mc._width;

and

shadow_mc._width = _root.size;

Both updates the movie clip once, but I need a continous updating as long the variable is changing (along the time line) in the main movie... Any cloue?
