loadAMovie level gotoAndPlay question

hello all … this is my first post :asian:

a bit of info which may or may not affect the situation:

I have 3 movies

the main movie WELCOME.swf loads another movie LINKS.swf which is the one that calls the 3rd movie DESCRIBE.swf with a button.

in LINKS.swf on the message button :

on (rollOver) {
_level0.createEmptyMovieClip(“holder3”, 3);
_level0.holder3.loadMovie(“DESCRIBE.swf”); // load the movie DESCRIBE.swf into the clip holder3
_level0.holder3.gotoAndPlay(“message”); // play the mesage framelabel in the loaded movie
_level0.holder3._x = 0;
_level0.holder3._y = 200;
_level0.holder3._xscale = 100;
_level0.holder3._yscale = 100;
}

still will not play the frame labeled “message” in DESCRIBE.swf , rather, it’s starts at the beginning of DESCRIBE.swf which is about 20 frames back and stops at the first stop() action on the timeline… am I making any sense here

this is driving me batty … thanks in advance guys

happy holidays <:}

Could you post a zip file with the fla for the link.swf and the describe.swf by itself so I can play with it? Maybe I or someone here can fix it for you. =)

I sent the wrong file but have corrected that
thank you kindly … maybe you will help me save the littlehair I have left :slight_smile:
cheers

apologize for sending the wrong file … the attachment is fixed now
