Hi

I’m really struggling with this, please help!

When you click on a button within my swf it loads an external swf into an MC that sits on top of the 1st swf, which continues to play underneath.

Within swf2 I have lots of pages that you can navigate to, which works fine on its own, but not when I try to play it through swf1. When I click on any of the navigation buttons they don’t work.

I’ve tried making an MC within swf2, putting all the pages in there and on the navigation buttons doing:

on(release){  
\_root.swf2MC.gotoAndPlay(“frame”);  
}

but this doesn’t work.

Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks!
