hey there!

I have a main movie (called: “team.swf”) with several buttons. When I click a button, it loads an external movie (called: “lampe.swf”) and plays in my main movie. Now, what I want to do is this: when the movie “lampe.swf” is done with playing, it loads another movie (called:“description\_lampe.swf”) onto the main movie. So what i do is ad a script to load the “description\_lampe.swf”, but it opens in the same window… This is my code:

```auto
_root.loadMovie("description_lampe.swf", "description");

```

I guess it has something to do with the “\_root”… how can I show to that movie that it has to open in the spot (“description”) on the main-movie (“team.swf”)?

thanks!

Wouldn’t it be:

```auto
_root.description.loadMovie("description_lampe.swf");

```

this is assuming there is a MC on the root level with instance name “description”.

hope that helps, khamstra
