hey there! i’m new in flash and already having BIG problems with loading movies and playing them not from the begining, but from a specific frame…how is that done ?!

so you can have an idea i have this code in the menu button:  
_on (release) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(2)  
}_  
\*  
\*and in the main movie, on frame 2 i want to load a movie but start it in frame 5(!) , cause the animation it has before has already been used…is it possible to do? can anyone help me please ?
