you can not simply load a movie and go to its frame. you must first:
createEmptyMovieClip that will be a point of reference and also allow you to control loaded _mc.then you must determine what has been loaded into _mc before you can begin jumping around frames. code below:
//name of new host for loaded _mc
createEmptyMovieClip("navigation... 1);
//set placement of _mc
navigation._x = 0;
navigation._y = 0;
//load your .swf into the newly created _mc
loadMovie("nav.swf", navigation);
//_mc preloader
//essentially, wait til _mc is loaded...
//...delete this event...
//...and go to specified frame.
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
var l = navigation.getBytesLoaded();
var t = navigation.getBytesTotal();
if(l == t){
if(navigation._width > 1){
navigation.gotoAndPlay(2);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
};
//play _mc
/*
you are now able to control "nav.swf" through the _mc "navigation"
if you want to go to any area in the nav.swf timeline
simply type: navigation.gotoAndPlay("yourFram...
*/
navigation.gotoAndPlay(2);
