Communicating with timelines?

1

S I M P L E Q U E S T I O N

I have a Movie Clip [Scoll] with a button
in it with the following code :

gotoAndPlay(1);

But it communicates with the Scoll Movie
Clip. How do I get it to communicate with
main movie [home] timeline?

I M P O R T A N T

I can’t use _root.gotoandplay(1) because
the Home Movie is already loaded into
another SWF [Index].

either use _root.theinstancenameofyourMC.gotoAndPlay(1)
or i think _levelX would work

Thanks 4 the quick responce ! ! ! !

I have been playing around with those but they don’t seem to work.

Main.swf
Home.swf [loaded into a placeholder not level]
Scoll [movie clip]
Button [with following script]

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(20);
}

This of course sends my Main.swf timeline to F20.
And _level does the same thing.

It works if I dont load Home.swf into Main.swf

I want the button to tell the timeline of Home.swf to go to F20.

-Thanks ! ! ! ! !
