[Gnash-dev] [PATCH] find_target("..") error

[Otávio Ribeiro]

Hi for all,

when a use the current cvs version of gnash to play the attached movie file the first frame (loading frame) freeze, the play button on the right upper side doesn't appear and the following error message is printed:

15:44:51: ERROR: find_target("..") failed

I've looking around and find out that  the parent movie clip will be aways NULL. There is even a comment on the code:

			// this is possibly NULL, it seems
			return get_parent();

so.. to solve that... when the parent is null, i've returned the root movie clip back instead of null and a lot of movies started to play... buttons that doesn't appear start to work, etc.. 

so.. follow the patch.
