I've got the follwoing code:
tellTarget (_root.frontPage)
{
gotoAndStop ("lastFrame");
loadMovie ("test.swf", "dummyMovie");
}
Now... I've tried replacing this with:
_root.frontPage.gotoAndStop("lastFrame");
_root.frontPage.loadMovie("test.swf", "dummyMovie");
I thought this 'should' have the same effect as that of the first bit of code... but apparently not?
What I want to do is load a movie over a dummy movie (existing in a movie on the main timeline). Now, it just so happens that my dummy movie only exists on a specific frame - hence, I have to instruct it to go to the frame before I load it.
I've also tried:
_root.frontPage.gotoAndStop("lastFrame").loadMovie ("test.swf", "dummyMovie");
That doesn't work either.
[OK... so I was in Java mode!] : )
Does all that make sense?
If anyone can figure out what I'm saying... and can give the equivalent code... I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.

I think you have the right code but...
_root.frontPage.gotoAndStop("lastFrame");
_root.frontPage.loadMovie("test.swf", "dummyMovie");
... although you are telling the movie clip to go to a specific frame, because you are then instantly loading a movie, Flash has not yet had time to go to the next frame.
You could try:
_root.frontPage.loadmovie = "test.swf"
_root.frontPage.gotoAndStop("lastFrame");
Then in the correct frame of the frontPage movie clip put the action:
If (loadmovie ne "")
loadMovie(loadmovie, "dummyMovie");
End If
This checks to see if the loadmovie variable exists and if it does it loads that movie.
Try it.
