Hi Kirupians,

I need a big help, Im working on a small project & Im not good in AS3. So please bear with me, I tried searching but cudnt find the keywords for this function.

I have a Parent.swf that loads a Child.swf on the main stage of the Parent.swf that works perfectly with this as3.0.

```php

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external/child.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
container_mc.addChild(myLoader);

```

Now i want the child.swf interact with the Parent.swf.

In my Child.swf  
I have few buttons that are in movie clips & when clicked I want them to go to a particular label in the Parent.swf movie clips.

How to go about coding this? Please spoon feed me…lol

Hope that makes sense.

Cheers,  
Bruce
