Hi, I am having a problem with movies communicating.

I have the following code to load a .swf into Level 1:

* * *

stop();  
loadMovieNum(“Intro.swf”, 1);

* * *

Then on the end of Intro.swf i have the following code:

* * *

unloadMovieNum(1);  
\_root.play();

* * *

What I want Intro.swf to do [when finsihed] is to make the movie that loaded it continue playing.

I have tried changing \_root.play to \_level0.play & \_parent.play.

TIA

try swapping the order of the actions from

unloadMovieNum(1);  
\_root.play();

to

\_root.play();  
unloadMovieNum(1);

* * *

If that doesn’t work try changing “play();” to gotoAndPlay(frame)"

Thx fr the help! Niether of them worked…When i change the order it “worked” that same way as it had before. And when I change it to goto frame it made the loaded .swf not the main movie goto frame x. Thanks for the help, any ideas welcome.
