Loading SWF and gotoandStop action in one onRelease action?

1

flash5

i want to do this:

on (release) {
_root.nextMovie = “externalmovie.swf”;
_root.cover.gotoAndPlay(“close”);
_root.content.gotoAndStop(20)

}

line 1 sets VAR nextMovie

line 2 tells a coverMC to start playing (it includes a loader and a loadMovie action which pretty much says “loadMovie (_root.nextMovie, _root.content);”. Oh the content it refers to is the placeholder in which the external SWF loads.
In the external SWF there is the rest of the loading part.

but anyhow, how can I trigger that after the SWF is loaded, it automatically moves to frame 20 and stops (instead of now just playing the **** thing :slight_smile: ).

thanks!
