Well first of all, having looked at Dorian's post earlier, I realize I 

should not have advised labeling the frames with numbers, or at least the 

labels should begin with a letter.


I thought you were loading a different movie for each background. If 

instead you are just moving the level 1 movie to a different frame holding 

the appropriate background, you can use a tellTarget attached to the button 

in level 9. The TellTarget action would be part of the "On (Release)" 

series of actions (that is, you can sandwich it between "On(Release)" and 

"End (On)" ):


On (Release)

         Go to (frame label: a3)

         TellTarget (target: _level1)

                 Go to (frame label: blue)

         End TellTarget

End (On)


Also I did not note this, but you need a Stop action in every keyframe in 

the level1 movie as well as in the MC on level 9.

You could use the same labels in the level1 movie as in the MC if you wish 

-- might make things simpler.
