Hi,

I hope so one can help me because I’m losing my mind :hr: on a tight deadline!

I have my main movie in which I have 2 blank movie clips that I use the ‘loadmovie’ instruction to load 2 external swf’s into.

My problem is I do not know how to link between the two movies, communicating instructions!

When a button is clicked in one of the external .swfs I need the instruction sent back to the main movie to tell it to load another .swf into the 2nd blank movieclip.

Any ideas guys? i’m sure it’s fairly simple but I am a releative AS virgin! Please help!

Thanks!!!
