In my main SWF, I load home.swf ([COLOR=Blue]\_root.container.loadMovie(“home.swf”);[/COLOR]) . On the first frame of home.swf is [COLOR=Blue]stop()[/COLOR]. Home.swf is played several frames into the main swf ([COLOR=Blue]\_root.container.play();[/COLOR]).

My problem is this, I can’t seem to call home.swf again. It loads but it **won’t play** (This won’t do the second time . \_root.container.play(); ???) . Can anyone figure this one out?

Thanks
