Check your target paths - like \_level0.mcname.gotoAndPlay for main movie and \_level(number) for others - This is a **very** common question here. Try searching and you might find a thread that helps you.

P.S. People will need both fla’s to help you - try to upload it to some webspace.

I’ve changed your fla a bit - I’m not sure if I’d use tweening to scroll the text though. You’re better off using a dynamic text box and scrolling that through custom buttons, or, using the buttons to control the \_y of the text.
I’ll put them up in a little while…

 - It was actually quite simple - just matter of getting rid of the Flash 4 syntax and using the proper instance name and target path.

now we’re at it, if I want to close the loaded movie, which is the best way to do that? should I just make some empty frames and get a “close” button in that same movie to tell it to go there or is there a better way?!

You can unload it from “contents” or load anothe in it’s place.
