controling start/stop from a different swf

[TapeworM]

ok here is my question

i have a button that loads a new .swf within a movie clip (the script isnt really important but i uncluded it just in case)

Button:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay (38);
loadMovie ("abt_lg.swf", _root.transition.content);
}

now within the movie "about_lg.swf", i have a button that i would like to make the movie clip from the last file (_root.transition) play.

is this possible to do?

thanks!
Greg

If you load an swf into a movie clip, you can just use a movie clip path to communicate between movie clips. So from the swf in your MC _root.transition.content, you could write:

_parent.gotoAndPlay(whatever)

if you want to control _root.transition timeline.
