After I loadMovie() why can't i controll it?

Hey guys quick question…

I do a:
target.loadMovie(“blah.swf”);
_root.target.gotoAndStop(1);

and it doesn’t do the “gotoAndStop(1)” command.

I’ve also tried:
stop();
gotoAndStop(1);
_parent.target.gotoAndStop(1);

Nothing works… can you not control a timeline this way?
