I have a movie that I placed on the main stage and I want to call it by way of another movie. Since the movie I want to call resides outside of the movie that will call it, I was wondering how I would go about doing that. Here’s the code I’ve got so far for the movie that is going to make the call:

on (press) {  
tellTarget (“DEbuttons”) {  
gotoAndPlay(“fade in”);  
}  
}

DE buttons is the movie that resides outside of this movie and on the main stage. I wasn’t sure if I can use \_level0 somewhere in there and I wasn’t sure where it ought to go. Thanks for any help.
