A loaded movie takes time to load, just as the initial movie does. So the 

frame you're calling may not even exist yet. Your second example (go to 

frame on mouse release) may work locally but will almost certainly fail on 

the web because of lag time in loading the second movie.


You need to load the second movie in advance of TellTargeting it. The 

second movie can start with several blank frames, the last of which has a 

Stop action. This way it will stay invisible while loading and will play 

only when TellTargeted to do so.
