Hi all,  
I’m having a problem calling a function from a different level.  
I have my main movie ‘Mymovie.swf’ in which I add a level(with loadMovie) with this code:  
loadMovie(“MyNewMovie.swf”, “\_level1”);  
On a button in MyNewMovie.swf, I try to call a function in ‘Mymovie.swf’, by doing:  
on(release){  
\_root.MyFunction();  
// or even: \_level0.MyFunction();  
}  
I’ve tried several ways to do it and looked in the forums. Can anybody help me please,  
thanks  
Danny
