i’m trying to use the loadMovie script to load another swf but to a specific scene and frame.

without the loadMovie script, it would be: gotoAndPlay (“scene”, frame)

but logically, with the loadMovie script, it would be:  
loadMovie (“file.swf”, \_root.gotoAndPlay(“scene”, frame))

but, that is not working. i was thinking it was because of the double parenthesis but i didn’t know how to fix it since “[]” are used for something else.

anyone know how to fix or do this? thx for your help ppl =)
