Hello!

Thank you for checking this out…

I am trying to link to a frame within a dynamically loaded swf from my main swf. The button in my main swf has the following actions assigned to it:

```auto
on (release) {
	_root.profile.gotoAndPlay(11);
}

```

I’ve tried using frame lables so my code looks like…

```auto
on (release) {
	_root.profile.gotoAndPlay("out");
}

```

…The link however doesn’t work either way and the movie just stays put frame-wise so I was wondering if you can please help me to see where I’m going wrong with it. The placeHolder MC has the instance of ‘profile’ on it so I fail to see what I’m doing wrong!

Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

Take care,

Mark
