I have a swf (intro1.swf) that begins with a preloader on the first frame and on the 2nd frame it loads a different swf (intro2.swf) with the following actionscript:

//Frame 2  
loadMovie(“intro2.swf”,"\_root");

I want to be able to return to frame 3 of the original movie (intro1.swf) after the loaded movie (intro2.swf) plays once, this way the rest of the movie (intro1.swf) plays till the end. How do I accomplish that? Do I need a certain actionscript command at the end of the loaded movie (intro2.swf)? Once it goes back to the original movie (intro1.swf) how do I make it skip over frame 2 to frame 3 for the continuation of the movie? If I go back to the very beginning of the original movie then when it gets to frame 2 intro2.swf will annoyingly play again. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the time

Frank

place:  
loadMovie(“intro1.swf”,“3”);

in your intro2.swf on the frame you want the intro1 to load, it should work, im tired so i cant think. Get back to me if it doesnt, it should tho
