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. =)
