Ok Maybe this wil explain better

I am loading an external movie clip onto level one of my main movie (this is done pretty early in the main timeline.)
However…the loaded movie has a stop action on the first frame.

Using a button in the main movie, I am attempting to open the external clip again (further down the timeline) using the basic script below:

on (release) {
loadMovieNum(“skin.swf”, 1);
}

Pretty straight forward so far…But I want the script to load the movie AND instruct it to go to and play frame 2.

What do I need to do from this point people?
Sorry but ‘middle age’ and Actionscript don’t mix…well…not for my ‘Jack Daniels riddled Brain!’

Help please!!!

Well I personally always use loadMovie to an empty movie clip so I am not sure about loading to levels, but you can try this…

Add _level1.gotoAndPlay(2) right after the loadMovieNum code.

With loadMovie you can target the empty clip and tell it to play that frame, I am assuming you can do the same with levels.

By the way, I use _level1 because you load your movie to level 1 in your loadMovieNum code.
