controlling main timeline from loaded swf.

[soco69]

I have a index.swf loaded into a level on my main timeline.

loadMovieNum (index.swf, 2)

This loades fine. I need the index.swf to stop the main timeline it is loaded in. this is the code i have used before and it worked, this time it does not.

on (release) {
_root.level0.stop();
}

Please help. thanks

on (release) {
level0.stop();
}

_root refers to the childmovie timeline and level0 refers to the parent movie timeline.

I have used that code and it still does not work. Any other ideas?

take it to a keyframe label that has a stop() action.

_level0.gotoAndPlay("stop");

It seems like it is not communicating with the main timeline. nothing works.
Does it matter what level it is on? it is being loaded through an action script on the first key frame of the main timeline.

Has anyone else had problems with flash mx actionscripting not working or not being consistant. sometimes it works.

make sure you publish (Ctrl + Enter) both movies eveytime you make changes to them.
