yeah, that’s probably the best way to do it, unless you want to create a separate movie with just that one frame.

well u see my external movie is my product page which contains 15 images and text on each frame so when i click on one specific image in my main.swf it should load an external swf (products.swf)with a specific frame that contains some specific information about that particular product(image)

so this option won’t work, I bet there are other ways to to that ,

let’s see what other kirupians have to say

thx so much

you could try something like this:

myButton.onRelease = function() {
_global.frame = 4;
myMovieClip.loadMovie("external.swf");
};

then put this action in the first frame of the external .swf:

this.gotoAndStop(frame);

:wink: =)
