Hi,

I have my main .swf and 6 externals .swf loaded with a container.

When I´m on an external .swf I have a button with this AS to return to my main .swf:

[SIZE=“2”][AS]on (release) {  
if (\_root.main.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.main.currMovie = “menuBLP”;  
\_root.main.container.loadMovie(“menuBLP.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.main.currMovie != “menuBLP”) {  
if (\_root.main.container.\_currentframe == \_root.main.container.midframe) {  
\_root.main.currMovie = “menuBLP”;  
\_root.main.container.play();  
}  
}  
}[/AS][/SIZE]

In the main .swf I have a MC which contains the menu with the instance name of, well, “menu”.

What I want is have another button on some external .swf´s that when I click on it returns me to the main .swf BUT also to a specific frame of the “menu” MC, know what I mean?

I give it a shot with this poor attempt (I´m trying :/) by adding:

[AS]\_root.main.container.menu.gotoAndPlay(3);[/AS]

But no luck, how could I do it?
