flash actionscript: I have a syntax question. I have a pop-up window and I'm trying to load a
picture into a Loader instance, but the Loader instance resides in a movie clip
that is exported for actionscript. The movie clip has the identifier:
"mc_Foto".

//Create Pop_Up window
var popUpWindow:MovieClip = PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, Window, true,
{closeButton:true});
popUpWindow.contentPath = "mc_Foto";
popUpWindow.setSize(500,500);
popUpWindow.title = "New Photos";

mc_Foto.spContent.contentPath = "images/" + newRecord.photoFile;

This won't work, and I've tried things like:
"mc_Foto".spContent.contentPath = "images/" +
newRecord.photoFile;
mc_Foto[spContent]contentPath = "images/" +
newRecord.photoFile;

What is the correct syntaxt to target spContent in movieclip "mc_Foto"?

I'm trying to follow your question. How are mc_Foto and your popup
window related? Are they?

I believe the question is, how do you reference the mc_Foto as it is the content of a PopUp? Use, poppWindow.content:

poppWindow.content.spContent.contentPath = "images/" + newRecord.photoFile;

I believe the question is, how do you reference the mc_Foto as it is the content of a PopUp? Use, poppWindow.content:

popUpWindow.content.spContent.contentPath = "images/" + newRecord.photoFile;

Whoops, I guess I should proof read better (keep missing that damn U!):

NSurveyor is on the right path (no pun intended - well - maybe a little) but I
will also through this out:

This may or may not be relevant but I have been having trouble with scripting
for the content of things that are loaded out of the library. For example, if
"mc_Foto" contains something like a scrollpane and you load it into a popup and
then immediately try to load its content without any kind of progress listener,
it can fail because, for example, spContent may not yet exist when you try to
assign its content path.
