I have looked throughout the Forum for a resolution to my problem. I know it’s something SUPER simple, but I’m just at the end.

Can someone tell me how to control an imported SWF file inside an empty MC\_Loader?? I need to play an exit section of the SWF and it’s not working!!

I have sections that I need to load “IF” the drop-down is already loaded. If it’s not I need to play the “close” part of the links drop-down movie.

on(release){  
\_root.MC\_Loader2.gotoAndPLay(“resources.swf”, “closelinks”);  
}

Tips please?? I just want to make this Darn thing work!!
