Hi friends,

I have two files  
[INDENT]  
main.swf & nav.swf  
[/INDENT]In main.swf i have two frames on Layer1 “ **s1** ” & “ **s2** ”

on Layer2 i used the following scripts to load nav.swf

```php
 
loadMovieNum("nav.swf", 10);

```

Which works perfecly fine.

But on nav.swf ( external file ) i have two buttons on the stage,

on the 1st button  
i have used the following script to go to “s1” frame which is on the main.swf

```php
on (release) {
 _root.gotoAndPlay("s1");
}

```

i have used the following script to go to “s2” frame which is on the main.swf

```php
on (release) {
 _root.gotoAndPlay("s2");
}

```

Which seems to be not working fine. Any idea??  
I have also attached those two fla files.
