How to control a movie from another loaded movie ?

The movie index\_splashscreen.swf is loaded on level 0 on which there is a button assigned  
with the following action :

* * *

on (release) {  
gotoAndStop (35);  
loadMovieNum (“flash/email\_form.swf”, 3);  
}

* * *

The movie “email\_form.swf” loads onto " index\_splashscreen.swf" covering it up completely but I´ve got a trouble :

- index\_splashscreen.swf has 2 buttons that keep quite active but not visible , what will  
certainly confound the visitors ;
- that´s the reason of that gotoAndStop (35) because on frame 35 the buttons are not there yet ;

As I don´t wish to employ unload on index\_splashscreen.swf I wonder a way to to control this  
movie from a “close window” button placed onto email\_form.swf ;

when close button is pressed the movie clip txtmc which is inside index\_splashscreen.swf  
will play and go to frame 40 (the complete path is \_root.whiteningmc.txtmc) ;

Is there any way to do it ?

Thank you very much for any help.
