Don't try to target the level, you need to target an instance name.... so
give the MC that you are trying totarget an instance name, and then target
that instance.... so it would look like:

Load Movie ("ecstudies/cstudy.swf", 4)
Begin Tell Target("instance")
Go to and Play (25)
End Tell Target
Stop <~~~ This may also be questionable as to whether or not you need
it....
i would personally place that stop action one frame after you have initiated

the load movie... but that is just me...

Does that help any?

P.S. You mentioned that the movie was loaded already.... couldnt you just
use a tell target rather than the load movie? since it may already be there?

Just a thought.
