You mean after you load a movie, you want to go to frame 9 within that movie?

Just put this after you load your movie:

```php
 _root.myloadedmovie.goToAndPlay(9); 

```

Change **\_root.myloadedmovie** to the path to your movie.  
If you don’t know the path, just follow [this](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/tricks/relativeaddressing.asp) tutorial.

It should go directly to that frame after loading the first one.
