controlling loaded movies at particular times  
i would like an already loaded movie on level 0 to play at a certain frame when another external movie ( level 4) is at a particular frame, all controlled by a button that would control both.

step 1:  
movie 1 is loaded and up in level 0

step 2:  
when the button is pressed:  
it loads movie 2 in level 4 and when movie 2 gets to frame 25

step 3:  
movie1 plays from frame 5 and jumps to frame 15.

i cannot even fathom how to script this to a button.

please help.  
thanks!

What do you mean by movie1 plays from frame 5 and jumps to frame 15 ? It can’t play and jump at the same time.

yeah, sorry for the confusion, i think i figured it out…

in movie 2 on frame 25 i have:

```auto

_level0.bg_pic.gotoAndStop(20);

```

which works perfectly

buts thanks of thinking of me!
