</div>

createEmptyMovieClip("\_root.displayMV.portfolio", 1);  
win.loadMovie(“portfolio.swf”);

That is a frame action - The “win” is my instance & the “portfolio.swf” is my external flash movie, I want this frame to tell my external flash “portfolio.swf” movie to go to and stop at frame 3 or 4, becuase at this time its only playing from the start.

Help.

Thank YOu :diss:
