control movie on level (x)?

[gnuwine94]

I made a "loading.swf" that sits idle on level 8 of my project right now. Instead of having a loading animation on every individual page - I wanted to access this "loading.swf" Trouble is, I don't know how to use the tell-target (is that what Im supposed to be using) to get "loading.swf" to Goto a specific frame to play. Does anyone know the action for this?

If i understand what you mean, action would be

TellTarget (_level8/labeledframe)
play
end telltarget

but be sure the target is dowloaded when you call it

[gnuwine94]

TellTarget (_level8/labeledframe)
play
end telltarget

When you say "labeledframe" --> does that mean the name of the swf file? the framelabel? (i tried both..) thanks

Sorry, i was wrong!!

First you have to load the movie (loading.swf) into the level you want, in this case level8.

Loadmovie (loading.swf,8)

if frame to play has the label "start", in main movie

TellTarget (_level8)
Goto and play ("start")
