Hey guys.  
First let me say that this is a really great forum. although I just registered to send a message but i’ve been around for one year now and unlike most other places people here are really willing to help. :tie:  
Ok here’s my question.  
I am loading a movie into a target then when the user clicks on a link I want the loaded movie to Play some frames and then load, the new movie. If I am confusing you here are a couple of links that you could check out and see what I mean.  
[Slayerment.com](http://www.slayerment.com) // which I think I’ve seen him post here. And hopefully can help me with this. If you click on the buttons, the boxes sort of close and fade then the new movie starts to load. or here are a couple of other examples:  
[www.godzillamonster.com/flash.html](http://www.godzillamonster.com/flash.html)  
[The Identity movie](http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/identity/)  
I’d be thankful if any one could help me with this.:s:

maybe you could try to put the animation at the start of the movie you’re loading.

or

after the button is clicked, play the animation thats on the main time line, then after that finishes put a loadMovie() action in the last frame so that the movie loads and plays.

I would try to do this…creat a movie with 2 scenes it with both having “if frame loaded” statments in he begining. So when your in your main scene the user clicks the link and it loads scene 1 which has your animation in it…then at the end it has a “gotoand play the other scene” and at the begging of that scene have an If frame loaded. I’m not sure if that will work or not but thats what I would try

HI guys thanx for the responses  
The first suggestion works but since its just one animation being played for all of the links I don’t think it will be helpful.  
and for sanman918’s answer it didn’t work for me but thankx any way
