Hi i am trying to give a command to a loaded into a level mc  
to goto a specif frame.  
this is the original command that is attach to a Button (without the gotoandstop action)  
on (press) {  
loadMovieNum(“photographers.swf”, 2);  
loadMovieNum(“massimo.swf”, 3);  
unloadMovieNum(4);  
}  
i want massimo.swf to load and goto a specif frame in massimo.swf.  
I tryed the  
massimo.gotoandstop(10);  
\_root.massimo.gotoandstop(10);  
\_parent.gotoandstop(10);

and i also tryed to define the mc  
var wichcliptouse=“massimo”;  
this[wichcliptouse].stop();  
i also used the [ and " on all the \_parent actions etc.  
So it is very confusing to me , do i have to change the level dept of massimo.swf? please help  
thanks a lot guys
