I’ve been trying to get this working for literally a week and if anyone could unravel the enigma that is LocalConnection you will be the biggest legend of all time

right, I have two Flash CS5 files that are acting as menu bars. What needs to happen: you click on a movieclip in the first file (in LocalConnection terms this is the send file) and in the second file (the receive file) it should make a movieclip gotoAndStop on its second frame.

I’ve fiddling around with a lot of online examples and trying to write my own based on them but no dice  
thankyou in advance if you can help
