Topic: Best practice for avoiding using _level0?

I'd like to make my widget compatible with "virtual Chumbies", but I use _level0 all over the place, and I gather from the docs that that makes it not work in a virtual Chumby.

What's the best way to avoid using _level0?

Currently I get the address of my objects by previewing my movie in Flash and clicking Debug --> Show Objects, which gets me lots of paths that start with _level0, such as:

_level0.options_panel.showurl_x

Is there some better way to target the above path other than using _level0? Ideally this way would work from anywhere in my SWF...

Thanks for any help.

Re: Best practice for avoiding using _level0?

Try using _root instead - this should be the main timeline of your widget, even when it's loaded into Virtual Chumby.  It's the same as _level0 for a standalone movie.
