How to target the playhead of a loaded swf? Help!

I know the solution is right in front of me but I’m still missing it…

I’m loading a swf into a container clip and I’d like to target this swf for control such as gotoAndPlay, etc.

I thought targeting the container clip would do it but it’s not. Here’s my script so far:

var mediaMenu:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(“mediaMenuHolder”, 1);
mediaMenu._x = 15;
mediaMenu._y = 175;
var mediaMenuLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mediaMenuLoader.loadClip(“mediaMenu.swf”, “mediaMenuHolder”);
this.mediaMenuHolder.gotoAndPlay(2);

The swf is loading but I can’t seem to give it any instructions.

Any advice on how to do this?

thanks!
