Hi!  
Im currently trying to upload an external swf file trough an empty mc.  
But since in this case i will be changing the swf file at times, i hope i could have an actionscript that detects the end of the external swf file and then gets the command gotoAndPlay(2).

thanks for reading

hope someone know how
