Hi all,

I am having a little problem and I would appreciate some help! I need to control my main movie from a button that is inside a movie that gets loaded on a container inside my main movie. In other words, my movie has a container, that loads a second movie. That second movie has button that needs to tell the first one to go to frame 13. Is that possible??  
Thanks!!
