I am trying to use a button on stage to load a swf and then on subsequent presses, advance to next frame.  
The movie loads, but on subsequent presses, it either reloads the movie, or replays the 1st frame.  
So I believe the 1st Two lines work, but the rest?  
or shpuld I go about this a different way? Suggestions?  
Attach Code

on (press) {  
this.\_parent.picLoader.loadMovie(“show\_01.swf”,“picLoader”);  
if (this.\_parent.picLoader.show\_01.swf.\_currentframe == this.\_parent.picLoader.show\_01.swf.\_totalframes) {  
this.\_parent.picLoader.show\_01.swf.gotoAndStop(3);  
} else {  
this.\_parent.picLoader.show\_01.swf.nextFrame();

}

}
