Hi everyone I have a question regarding loadmovie

say I have two movie clips on my main movie there instances are (content) and (menu) I have a loadmovie action that uses this code \_root.menu.loadMovie(“menu.swf”); to load the movie menu.swf into the main stage. say I had a button on menu.swf that I wanted to target the content MC how do I get menu.swf to target the content MC.

If there is a better way to do this please let me know  
If there isn’t any help would be appreciated

Thank You

Cube

Then you would have to use this:  
on(release) {  
\_root.content._do-something_  
}  
because the main timeline of the menu is now the main timeline of the main movie!
