Subject: FLASH: Newbie F4 Target Question

Hi Everyone,

I'm creating a product catalog in Flash and need my movie to open a .swf
file containing the company's products. The clip is loaded into a
transparent movie clip and appears on top of my main movie.

So far so good. But I need to be able to jump to different locations in the
second movie depending on what button the user clicks on.

A typical button (for a product called 178) is as follows:
On (Release)
Set Variable: "MovieClip" = "products/products.swf"
Set Variable: "StartLabel" = "178"
Go to and Play ("SBC Clip")
End On

This jumps to a location (SBC Clip) that calls up the products.swf movie.
The code for this frame is:
Load Movie (MovieClip, "/ClipHolder")
Begin Tell Target ("/ClipHolder")
Go to and Play ("StartLabel")
End Tell Target

Now, I thought this should jump my movie designated ClipHolder to the label
178. But it doesn't. Rather it always starts at the first frame of the
movie.

Am I missing something obvious? In any case, any suggestions would be
welcomed.

Jordan
