Hi!

i got a video online with a preloader. It’s made simply and looks like that:

loader.autoLoad = false;  
loader.contentPath = “videoname.swf”;  
pBar.source = loader;  
loader.load();

pBar.complete = function() {  
this.\_visible = false;  
};

now i want to add some buttons to “jump” to specific frames. I add some buttons and add actionscript like that:

on (click) {

```
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("250");

```

}

hmmm, but it doesn’t work. how can i specify the name of the video? i think that the problem is, he doesn’t know this.\_parent

Somebody an idea?

Thx,  
Dorian
