Load movie to set label/frame

1

Hello there,
I was wondering if you could help with a flash question.

I have made a slightly complicated movie-menu system for a portfolio.
I was making separate .swf’s but had problems linking them.

So I combined some.

I combined an intro movie into scene 1. I added the menu system to scene 2.

From Scene 2 you can select objects on my menu. One object that I could not include was a 122 layer flash movie. So when you click this button it loads the flash movie. The movie goes fullscreen then when finished goes back to the original file and closes itself. The problem is that I do not want it to go to the intro movie from scene 1. Is there a way to load the original movie AND send it to scene 2?

Thank You if you can help,

Depending on where you load it there are several possibilities

If you always load it into a separate html page and always want it to play scene 2 then a simple gotoAndPlay (“Scene 2”, 1); in scene 1 frame 1 might work.

If you’re loading into an instance of a movie clip you could use
the getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal() methods might work

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (myMovie.getBytesLoaded()==myMovie.getBytesTotal) {
myMovie.gotoAndPlay (“Scene 2”, 1);
}
}
