im soooo stuck.  
help…

heres my question:

Is it possible to load a swf into an mc and then be  
able to control the timeline of that loaded swf.

In other words I have 3 buttons on the main  
timeline(or movie where this mc is sitting).  
2-Each of these buttons loads the same swf into the  
same mc placeholder.  
3-But i want each button to access a different jpg in  
the loaded swf. (which means moving the timeline of  
the loaded swf)

This is the code i have (which of course doesnt work)

Toc2\_mc.onRelease = function () {  
loadMovie(“Print1.swf”, empty3\_mc);  
empty3\_mc.gotoAndPlay(35);

}

p.s. im not loading the movie into a level b/c  
i want to place it into a specific x and y  
coordinates.
