ok, this is probably a stupid question, but i just can’t seem to figure it out 😛

how can i control the timeline of a swf loaded in a different level?

For instance i loaded 2 swfs (let’s say in level 5 and level 10) in the master swf. How do i tell it that when i click on a button on level 10 that the swf in level 5 moves to a specific position in the timeline?

the command

\_level0.gotoAndPlay(2);

doesn’t work
