jumping to a new SWF and playing an MC

[phukkin_username]

Hi

what i have at the minute is a scene called 'tradcasestudies' with a button in there that links to a corporate ID section.

what i want to happen is for when you click the corporate ID button, it loads 'traditional.swf' AND then plays 'corpid' MC. I can make it load the SWF but i cannot make it play the MC afterwards

I have the following script on the button, please excuse the awful code, this is me guessing at what it should be!;


on (press) {
loadMovie ("traditional.swf", _root.corpid.gotoandplay (2));
}


what is the best way around this problem?

thanks

hi

you can't put _root.corpid.gotoandplay (2) into loadMovie action!
Where you placed it, is the parameter that indicate where
the movie will be load (myMovieClip, for example)
So, you can do it:
on (press) {
loadMovie ("traditional.swf", _root.corpid);
_root.corpid.gotoAndPlay(2)
}


I hope this helps
