My movie clip doesn’t respond to gotoAndPlay(1) command at all. Here is the situation:  
The Main.fla has a movie clip instance “Mov1” and the following AS3 code in the first timeframe:

function LoadSWF(Mov:Object, swf:String ):void {  
fl\_Loader = new Loader();  
fl\_Loader.load(new URLRequest(swf));  
Mov.addChild(fl\_Loader);  
}  
LoadSWF(Mov1, “ChildMovie\_1.swf”);

Once it’s loaded it plays once (there is a stop(); at the end).  
So far so good but… the following code in the button script doesn’t trigger any action at all:

Mov1.gotoAndPlay(1);

Any other code in that button works fine, so the button itself works ok.  
Anyone know what am I missing? Any “import” piece?  
Thanks a lot in advance…
