Hi folks,

I’m working on a a pretty basic slideshow for a client. I thought I would try the Flash slideshow component. It seems to be working quite well. I just have one problem I can’t figure out how to make a gotoAndPlay call to my loaded movie.

I am loading external movies into a holder called image\_mc like this.

this.image\_mc.loadMovie(“Lesson6/media/anis/L6\_T2\_P3\_ani\_eng.swf”);

This works just fine but I when I go to the next slide or previous slide my L6\_T2\_P3\_ani\_eng.swf file doesn’t reload. I have tried using  
this.image\_mc.unloadMovie(); on one frame and then loading the movie on the next but no luck. I’ve also tried targeting it different ways nothing seems to work.
