Hi all,

I’m having some trouble linking to a frame in a dynamic swf from my main movie.

Here are the actions I’ve used:

```auto
on (release) {
	_root.profile.gotoAndPlay("out");
}

```

From what I can makeout, there are no problems with this…the containerMC has an instance name of “profile” and the dynamic swf has a preloader so I don’t think it’s the fact that the dynamic swf hasn’t loaded.

Would someone mind taking a look at my fla’s please? I can upload them or if you can give me your email address, I can email it to you or send the link.

Also, the .txt in the external swf seems to work sometimes but not others so if anyone fancies having a look to see what they can see, it would be very much appreciated. I don’t know whether that might be something to do with my cache but I doubt it.

The only thing I can think of that’s stopping all this happening is my preloader but I deleted it and tested my movie again but nothing changed.

I’d really appreciate any help that anyone doesn’t mind giving as I need to show it to my client within the next few days!

Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

Take care,

Mark
