I have “main.swf” that is the main page  
In “main.swf” is button “1” that has the action:  
on (release) {  
setProperty("/sub", \_x, “20”);  
setProperty("/sub", \_y, “52.5”);  
setProperty("/sub", \_xscale, “100”);  
setProperty("/sub", \_yscale, “100”);  
loadMovie(“bio/biobutton.swf”, “sub”);  
}

In “bio/biobutton.swf” is a button “2” that should load “bio/biojorrit.swf” in a MC called “main” in the main page (“main.swf”)

Queston:  
The action on button 2:  
on (release) {  
setProperty("/main", \_x, “300”);  
setProperty("/main", \_y, “52.5”);  
setProperty("/main", \_xscale, “100”);  
setProperty("/main", \_yscale, “100”);  
loadMovie(“bio/biojorrit.swf”, “main”);  
}  
Does not work because it’s in a diffrent swf. What actioncode should I use?

Cheers,
