external swf problem....

[Paingod]

Im having a hard time controlling an external swf loaded into my main file. It loads on the press of a button....loaded great even!...hehe but now i cant control it!....it sits inside of a containerMc (named that) but how do i say _root.containerMc.mag(the name of the swf loaded)

on(press){
_root.containerMc.mag.gotoAndStop("12")
}

......that doesnt work for me....any help would be appreciated

Howdy, just take away the mag part of your code and it should work for you.

well thanks walsher....it does work. Why?.....it seems freekin retarded.....thanks again man!

Not a problem. The way it works is almost like putting the swf into the movieclip like you would normally on the stage itself. Instead of making a new object it puts all the frames from the swf into the movieclip. Which makes it a part of the movieclip.
