hi, i read about the tutorial on loading external swf into levels. I have the following codes in Layer Frame 1:

```auto
loadMovieNum ("World.swf", 1);
_level1.gotoAndStop(2);
stop();

```

When i execute this code, world.swf is loaded, but i cannot get it to go to frame 2, and even if i use \_level1.stop(); or \_level1.trace(“HI”);, none of them worked for me, so i was wondering if theres anything i need to add on to the codes, thanks!
