hi!
i have a little question: Im begining to make a flash website where I have a main.swf and different buttons that load different external swf files. Is it possible to ‘jump’ to an specific frame in an external swf?.
Lets say I have an ‘about’ button that loads an ‘about.swf’ movie, but I dont want my ‘about.swf’ to start at frame 1 but at frame 5, or 15, or whatever. Do I use a ‘gotoAndPlay’ or something like that? sorry if my question seems stupid, Im pretty new :}

yes, but imagine that in this external .swf i have a pic in frame 5, another pic in frame 10, ant another one in frame 15, and i want this external .swf to be loaded directly to frame 15 without showing the first 14 frames.
how to do that ??

Just like he said
```auto
gotoAndPlay(5);
//or
gotoAndPlay(10);
//or
gotoAndPlay(15);
```
or whatever frame you want.
