making AS inside a MC perform

[TeddTucker]

im builing a website the loads external .swf from the main movie. now im no pro so i cant get the external movie's action script to work.

if the external movie is called "section3.swf" and the rollover has a instance name of "how" how do i make it perform its rollover????

i thought it would b something like so

section3.swf.how.onRollOver = function(){
section3.swf.how.gotoAndPlay("overIt");
section3.swf.how.back = false;
section3.swf.how.play();
}

section3.swf.how.onRollOut = function(){
section3.swf.how.back = true;
}

any suggestions?

You would have to do that coding in the section3.swf and then compile it.

sorry but im a rook. whats compile? and what part of the code in section3 needs to b edited

[kortex]

in the section3.swf place the code you want:
how.onRollOver = function(){
how.gotoAndPlay("overIt");
how.back = false;
how.play();
}

how.onRollOut = function(){
how.back = true;
}

Compile just means publish the SWF.
