…rs#768) Remove `_root`, `_parent` and `_global` from `MovieClip.prototype`. Instead, these are "magic" properties similar to `_x` and `_y`. Add `StageObject::resolve_path_property` to handle these, alongside the `_levelN` property. Fixes ruffle-rs#768.

Currently we cheat by putting
_root,_parent, and_globalas properties on the prototype of MovieClip, Button, etc., but this isn't correct:trace(MovieClip.prototype.hasOwnProperty("_root")); // false in Flash, true in RuffleInstead, these should be "special" properties inherent to
StageObject, similar to_x,_y, and_rotation. The tricky part is that_root,_parent, and_globalrespect case-sensitivity, unlike the other special properties. That is,_RoTaTiOnworks regardless of SWF version, but_RoOtonly works in SWFv6 and below.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
