Hello hello,

Here’s what i’m doing and it doesn’t seem to work, can someone tell me why please?

1st movie, a button:  
[AS]  
on (press) {  
function () {myLocalConnection = new LocalConnection();  
myLocalConnection.send(“Incoming”, “onRecieve”, MyID);  
myLocalConnection.close();};  
[/AS]

where MyID is some variable

2nd movie, 1st frame:

[AS]  
myLocalConnection = new LocalConnection();  
myLocalConnection.onRecieve = function(theID){  
\_root.test.gotoAndPlay(theID);}  
myLocalConnection.connect(“Incoming”);  
[/AS]

now that doesn’t work so i’m wondering what is wrong…
