going to a frame in a different file

[addtheman]

Hi there i am fairly new to flash and have come across a problem i can't figure out.

i have a flash file called "main" it is a still page with two animated buttons (button1 and button2). i want the first button to link to frame 1 of a seperate flash file called "movie" and button 2 has to link to frame 5 of the "movie" file.

i can make "button1" goto frame 1 of the movie but i cannot get the second button to goto frame 5, it always loads the movie from frame 1.

so i need a way of loading the movie into frame 5.

hope this make sense.

post your button scripts please....

The movie will always load at frame 1 of your first scene
but u can tell the movie to go into a specific frame once its loaded.


action for button 2.

on (press) {
click = "1";
loadMovieNum("movie.swf", 1);
}

now got an scene in your "movie.swf" that ask in the first frame " if _level0.click == 1; " gotoAndPlay("scene2", 5);

note that the click must be a dimamicTextField in the same movie that u got your buttons.

hope it helps.
