Support for loaded swf's and lockroot

Hi,

First off great tool.  Its very helpful and even more
appreciated  
given the diminishing number of development tools for the
AS2 world.

Now the fun part - I have an AS2 project and have been using
XRAY  
extensively for my runtime debugging tool.  I recently had
to take a  
dynamically loaded swf and set its _lockroot=true to get it
to behave  
correctly.

XRAY was able to inspect the dynamically loaded swf just
fine when  
its _lockroot wasn't set.  The moment I set _lockroot=true,
XRAY no  
longer let me browse its child movieclips in the explorer
tree.  When  
I click the movieclip reference in the explorer tree and
click 'go'  
it simply doesn't show any children.  The interesting thing
is that  
it does show the attributes in the property inspector pane.

In the screenshot below, the I have selected 'libapp' which
is the  
container movieclip for the dynamically loaded swf.

If _lockroot isn't set, then this item expands just fine. 
If  
_lockroot is set, it does exactly what you see below - no
expansion  
and no child elements.  Again, you can see in the property
inspector  
that the details are actually available.



Thanks for working on this tool and I was also wondering if
there is  
anyway breakpoint concepts can be introduced in a future
version of  
Xray?

Mitch,

This just goes to show that _lockroot is evil . I take it
you have
no control over the SWF that you are loading in, and that's
why you
HAVE to use _lockroot. If this isn't the case, perhaps you
should
remove any references to _root that the loaded SWF is using
and thus
eliminate the need to use _lockroot.

Anyway, my guess is that _lockroot causes some issues with
cross-scripting access, thus blocking Xray from gaining
access to the
loaded SWF. Not sure of this though. John, any other ideas?

I'm sure it would be helpful for us if you could send a
simple zipped
example recreating this problem.
