HELP! Controlling External Movies

programming flash
1

Howdy,

I have a movie (movie1.swf) which loads “movie2.swf” onto level 2. What
is the scripting to make it go right to a specific frame in
“movie2.swf”? What if I wanted it to go to a specific scene in
“movie2.swf” right away upon load? Is it possible?

Thanks in advance…

It is possible. Load the movie into level2 and use

_level2.gotoAndPlay(wherever)
_leve2.gotoAndStop(wherever).

Try this

Flex, thanks for the quick response, but I’m still hitting a snag. Here is the script I used:

Frame 2 of my movie:

loadMovieNum(“navigation.swf”, 2);

Frame 3 of my movie:

_level2.gotoAndPlay(“cart”, 1)

“cart” is the name of the scene I would like “navigation.swf” to go to. BTW, I wasn’t able to view the file you had left as my current computer is secured Fort-Knox-style. Thanks again.

It won’t go there if the movie is not loaded. Use a frames loaded check to see if the movie is loaded yet then go to the scene.

That was indeed the problem. Thanks for the help!
