Quick question

is there a way i can call loadMovie and tell it to play a certain frame inside the .swf file?

thx

sure make an empty mc and give it the actions:

onClipEvent (load) {
    this.gotoAndPlay(8);
}

then put into your frame the following code:

loadMovie("YourMovieClip.swf", "movieclip");

that’s the easiest way.
