I know it sounds simple for most of you… but tell me: how can I use onRelease… goTo on a SWF that was loaded inside another SWF?
I have my main SWF and then I’ve loaded another Movie (another swf) inside it. Now I want to control that second swf. Once I’ve loaded that SWF, it belongs now to the 1st one, nut I can´t control it.
Second question.
if I have an INDEX.HTML file, with separated SWF’s, can I control them from a MAIN swf? What I want is:
Imagine I have INDEX.HTML and inside it, I have a menu.swf, a content.swf, a photos.swf
I want, with menu.swf, control the rest SWF files. How can I do it?

1/if you are loading into an mc, wait until it loads and then just address the mc.
2/It is possible using localConnection(). What is it you are trying to communicate-i may have an example.
