Give Instance to Externally Loaded .SWF

programming flash
1

I’m creating a site in which my menu items are .swf’s loaded externally
using loadMovieNum.

Is there anyway I can give an externally loaded .swf an instance name
once it is loaded? I need to do this because when it loads…it shows up but I cant apply the function

???.onRelease = function() {
if (nextMovie != “print.swf”) {
nextMovie = “print.swf”;
_level2.gotoAndPlay(“outro”);
}
};

??? would normally be the instance

I tried this since it was loaded on level 3:

_level3.onRelease = function() {
if (nextMovie != “print.swf”) {
nextMovie = “print.swf”;
_level2.gotoAndPlay(“outro”);
}
};

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I will submit the
finished site to kirupa. Thanks.
