load movie on level1 play instance on level2 from _root

[addmyra69]

Hi,
I have a 'main' swf time line and a 'control' swf which is loaded onto level2 when the main movie starts.

On frames 10 to 20 of the main timeline are for eg.

loadMovieNum("01_purpose.swf",1);
stop();

...which loads the content swfs on level 1 of the root timeline.

This is controlled by buttons on my control swf. (ie goto and stop ,10)
This all works fine.

I want to be able to highlight my buttons on the 'control' swf so that I can see where I am in the timeline of the presentation.
I have an instance of 'colour' in my control swf and I want to action this from the root timeline so that a next and previous button on the control will also highlight the correct button. 'colour is just a movie clip the moves a block of colour from one label to another eg 'one', ';two' etc.

Am I close with this syntax in my main (root) timeline?

loadMovieNum("01_purpose.swf",1);
_level2.colour.gotoAndStop(one);
stop();

Would appreciate any help!!

frame labels require quotes - "label"

_level2.colour.gotoAndStop("one");
