**movieclipName**.  
you have to change “movieclipName” to the instance name of the movieclip!

</div>

then use the instance name of the movieclip you loaded the other mvoie into! or if you want to go further inside then you should be aware that the \_root of the loaded movie is now in the movieclip that you loaded it into! and then from there oin you can use the same technique!

ex

mainmovie = \_root. **mcmc**.loadMovie(“sub.swf”)  
sub = \_root. **s**.gotoAndStop();

then combine the 2  
\_root. **mcmc**. **s**.gotoAndStop();

the way I asked you was worng, sorry!

I have main.swf  
I load website.swf onto loadwebsite (movie clip)  
then, I want to go to a label (tmv2) within website.swf from main.swf.  
do you understand?

I have this code

on (release) {  
label = “tmv2”;  
\_parent.door.closedoor();  
}

at the end of door(movieClip), there is this script

label = \_parent.label;  
\_parent.gotoAndStop(label);  
this.gotoAndPlay(“open”);

um, hard to explain.  
I hope you got it.

thank you so much for your help!

> **I want to go to a label (tmv2) within website.swf from main.swf.**

well I’m afraid I stil didn’t fully get what you’re saying but anyways it can be done like this:

\_root.loadwebsite.gotoAndStop(label);

?? maybe send me a .fla file or sth!
