FLASH: Specifying scenes in loaded movies

[Chris Urban]

Hello Flashers!


I must be missing parts of my brain - I was sure I've done this before...

I have a parent movie, and several children which I load into a place holder

named 'base,' an empty mc.


Typically, you click on a button, and it loads a specific 'child' movie into

'base.'


Here's where I run into trouble: I want to specifically load a movie, let's

say 'child3,' at a specific scene.  I have the first frame of each scene

labeled, 'scene1start,' 'scene2start', &c.


So, for this button, an action would be:


On (release)

Load Movie ("child2.swf" , "/base")

Begin Tell Target ("base")

   (I've used ('_level0/base" also with no difference)

Go To and Stop ("scene2start")

End Tell Target

End On


Now what am I doing wrong? I've loaded the movie into a generic level

instead of a specific placeholder, but that doesn't work either.
