loadmovie + frame #?

[fruiter]

Is it possible to load a movie and have it link to a particular frame within the loaded movie?

Right now, I have:

}
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("movie.swf", 0);
gotoAndStop(3);
{

Thanks

A movie can not go anywhere until its loaded. So you can not use a goto command on tha button that load the movie.

However you can set a variable that the loaded movie will read and act upon, but not if you replace the movie that calls the external swf ( your code means that you replace whatever is on _level0).

If you load the external movie to _level 1 instead you can set a variable with the button like this....

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("movie.swf", 1);
whereToGo="myFrameLabel";
{

In the external movies first frame you can have

gotoAndPlay(_level0.whereToGo);

It will make the external movie fo to a framelabel, in this case named myFramelabel in its timeline.
