    movie clip load question

    i am successfully using seperate SWF files within one main flash movie by using this actionscript:

    container.loadMovie("images/homeTextBoxes.swf");


    where "container" is a blank movie clip on the main timeline.

    my question is: i would like another button to load the same movie (homeTExtBoxes.swf)in the same "comtainer" movie clip, but goto a different frame of homeTextBoxes.swf (not start on the first frame but goto a frame label)

    make sense? any help will be much appreciated!

    why not just:
    code:

    on(release){
    _root.container.gotoAndPlay("some_label")
    }



    ???

    or is there another reason for reloading than change of the desired starting frame?

    i think i still need to load "container" with the movie because the container could not be empty (there are 2 different buttons that could load it, one in the main nav that i want to start on frame one and one elsewhere on the page that i want to go farther down the frames of that movie)
