I’m loading a swf from an external folder and I want to be able to gotoAndStop at a specific frame in the swf. I’ve tried to write the code maybe five different ways but I can’t get it to work.

Here are my last two attempts, but no luck so far:

```auto
jun7_06Callout_mc.CalloutTextB_btn.onRelease = function(){    
    loadMovie("001Assets/jun7_06flagslideshow.swf", _parent.slideHolder_mc);
    gotoAndStop(slideHolder_mc."jun7_06flagslideshow.swf",2);
    };

```

```auto
jun7_06Callout_mc.CalloutTextB_btn.onRelease = function(){    
    loadMovie("001Assets/jun7_06flagslideshow.swf", _parent.slideHolder_mc);
    gotoAndStop("_parent.slideHolder_mc",2);
};

```
