Controlling Externally Loaded SWF in AS3

I'm a little new to AS3 so there are a few things that I'm trying to learn from knowing AS2 before. One of them is loading external SWF files. Here's what I have going on... On the first frame of my main container file, I have this:

Quote:

---

var iwgResults = new Loader();
iwgResults.load(new URLRequest("win1.swf"));
iwgContainer.addChild(iwgResults);

---

This loads up "win1.swf" and places the "iwgResults" child in my "iwgContainer" movie clip I already have set up. This works wonderfully and loads it in the right spot. The problem comes when I want to send a simple gotoAndPlay action to the main timeline of win1.swf. This is what I currently have later on in the timeline of my main container file:

Quote:

---

iwgContainer.iwgResults.gotoAndPlay(2);

---

Obviously this isn't how it's done in AS3, but that's what I remember from AS2. What do I have to do differently when I have to tell win1.swf to gotoAndPlay from the main container file? I'd really appreciate the help... Thanks!

I think it goes something like this:

Code:

---

var myChildren:Array = new Array([])
function addSwf
{
var iwgResults = new Loader();
iwgResults.load(new URLRequest("win1.swf"));
iwgContainer.addChild(iwgResults);
myChildren.push(iwgResults);
}
// go to and play
myChildren[0].gotoAndPlay(2);

Hmm, that doesn't seem to be working for me. It's outputting syntax errors. I've never dealt with arrays before so I'm not sure what the problem is!

This is probably not the best way to do it, but it works.

PHP Code:

---

var iwgContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
stage.addChild(iwgContainer);
var iwgResults = new Loader();
function addSwf():void
{
    iwgResults.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, gotoMyFrame);
    iwgResults.load(new URLRequest("win1.swf"));
}
addSwf();
// go to and play;
function gotoMyFrame(e:Event):void
{
    iwgContainer.addChild(iwgResults);
    MovieClip(iwgResults.getChildAt(0)).gotoAndPlay(2);
}

skip the two first lines if iwgContainer is already an movieClip.
