[font=Arial][size=2]help - im having an issue thats prolly easy to resolve - im just a dummy and dont know (yet)…[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][/font]  
[font=Arial]i have a thumbnail\_mc inside of a scroll pane (named myScrollPane - which is on the stage and main timeline). thumbnail\_mc consists of about 50 buttons.[/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]when user presses a button, i would like an external SWF to load - like BJ\_identitytheft\_SWF [/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]AND i want to load [/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]the subtitles that i have transcribed (the external swf’s are all videos i produced)[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]so when user presses button, i want to the external SWF movie to load and the text captioning to load - in the same place as the thumbnail\_mc.[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]i would like the captioning to replace the thumbnail\_mc as the movie is playing and when the movie is done, i want the thumbnail\_mc to return.[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]so i thought it would be a simple action on the button to also load the captioning, but its not working.[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]the subtitles-captions are all scrolling dynmaic text boxes inside a movie clip - ie[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]BJ\_email\_text\_mc consists of a dynamic text box with a scroll bar that would display the words of the BJ\_email\_SWF that is also being called with the button.[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]this is the action on BJthumbnail button #1 - which is name BJnameThNbutton [/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=2]on (press){  
\_root.logoHolder\_mc.loadMovie(“Exported SWFs/BJ/BJ\_identitytheft\_SWF.swf”);}[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]on (release) {  
tellTarget(this.\_parent.BJ\_companion\_text\_mc){  
gotoAndPlay(1);}  
}[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]this is the error i get:[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]Target not found: Target=“undefined” Base="\_level0.myScrollpane.spContentHolder"[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]this has something to do with my scroll pane i guess ?[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]why would the button let me refer to somehting outside the scroll pane - to load the movie - but to load an internal MC its giving me this error ??[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2] **basically - i need to know how to, and/or why i cant, call an internal movie clip** [/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]i have also tried this :[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]first i put this script on the first frame action of the main timeline, and then i tried it on the first frame action of the thumbnail\_mc[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]BJnameThNbutton.onRelease = function(){  
BJ\_name\_text\_mc.gotoAndPlay();}[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]neither of them work.[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]so i have this function on a frame action, and the usual loadmovie action on the button.[/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2]all of my subtitle texts are internal movie clips. i can get it to work if i make them all external like my movie SWFs, but i didnt want to have to do that and im sure that there’s got to be a way to get these to load internally.[/size][/font]
