It sounds simple!  
Can I jump to a frame using the frame label?  
Like this:

```
_root.C.inicio.onRelease = function() {
	mouseRelease(inicio);
	_root.content.gotoAndStop("inicio"); // this code line?

```

}

You can’t manipulate the movie until it is fully loaded.

It loads it quick, but it doesn’t load it at the exact same time the loadMovie() command is called.

What you could do is set a variable to hold what frame label to play. Then in frame 1 of the movie you are loading have the gotoAndPlay in there and target the variable that holds the frame label.

It`s working fine!!! The frame that is labed is the frame 2 in every swf loaded. It`s like a book, and frame 1 is the index.  
So in frame 2 I had to use the following code otherwise I could not go to frame 1.

```auto
 _root.playLabel = ""; 

```

Thanks
