Hi there guys and gals, got a problem with one of my movies using more than one movie. The way i set it out is so there is a main flash movie, and different sub movies are loaded into a movie symbol loacated in the main movie depending on what button is pressed.  
Now the issue i have is once a sub movie is told to load, the main movie (from which it was loaded from) it paused at a certain frame. What i would like to do is [COLOR=Red]from the loaded sub movie[/COLOR], tell the main movie to gotoandplay or keep playing rather than stay paused. If you’re wondering why i am doing this, its because the submovie preloads first, then plays, which at the same time, i want the main movie to do other things once it is loaded.  
Thankyou in advance.  
Cheers
