Hi,

i just recently started programming in flash and so far I have learned a lot, but new questions keep coming up:)

My problem is that I want to load an external swf in an empty movieclip and then manipulate this loaded swf from my main movie. For example tell it to go to a certain frame. Is such a thing possible?
