[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]I need some urgent help with linking in Flash. I have a main movie in which all my buttons are, this movie loads the other swfs in a contentHolder movie clip.

Now the problem is that I need to link to a certain frame in the loaded swf.[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]button\_btn.onPress = function() {[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3] contentHolder.loadMovie(“investment.swf”);[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]};[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]Now in the investment.swf I want it to go straight to frame 5. I have done lots of looking online, but cant seem to find the answer. I think I need to use variables but am not sure.[/SIZE][/FONT]
