Hello All,

I’m having a problem with a flash movie. I’m trying to save the position of a movie (that is playing via loadMovie, as it’s a seperate SWF file) using \_currentFrame. When a user clicks on this other button, they are taken to another movie (via loadMovie) with a “back to presentation button”. When they click this button, they are supposed to be taken back to the \_currentFrame of the original movie, where they left off. Right now I have:

backToPress\_btn.onRelease = function () {  
loadMovie (“movieName.swf”, “\_root.loadedLevel\_mc”);  
}

This however just starts the original movie. I tried adding a “gotoAndPlay(frameName)” but that isn’t working. Perhaps it’s because the movie with the above code is no longer “loaded” ?

Does that make sense? Any suggestions?

Thanks.
