Hey guys, as usual I need help in these in between areas that I can’t find in tutorials. For anyone who’s already gone through these rites of passage, it shouldn’t be too hard, but I’m wracking my brains.

1. I have a full flash site that I load external SWFs with. As the site loads it loads home.swf automatically. I want it to load home.swf and to automatically make it play from scene two. Also when the user clicks on the “home” button, I would like it to play from scene 3 instead. I have heard it’s possible, but I can’t seem to find a tutorial.

2. The preloader I got from a tutorial does not work if it for a SWF that is being loaded onto a new one. So I altered it by removing the “\_root” command. But still it does not work. Can anyone take a look at it for me? [You can find the FLA here](http://www.u2xs.com/random/links.fla).

This work is going to be for my Website: [Http://www.Sergprotector.com](Http://www.Sergprotector.com). If anyone has comments or suggestions, I’d be happy to hear them.

Thanks for the help, if you need to contact me, e-mail me at [Soig@aol.com](mailto:Soig@aol.com)
