_level1.gotoAndStop problem 1

[jzauner]

I'm using, unsuccessfully, these two lines of code to load an external .swf file called bag.swf and have it start on the frame "trunk":


on (release) {
loadMovieNum("/site/flash/bag.swf", 5);
_level5.gotoAndStop("trunk");
}


Any suggestions are appreciated.

That won't work. You can't use both lines on the same actionscript... The external movie needs to be fully loaded, before it can be re-directed to some particular frame...

Sorry, I've been quite busy... I'll try to mail you the .flas I talked about earlier, this afternoon...

I've stumbled across this on the net:

on (press) {
loadMovieNum("filename.swf",1);
}
on (release) {
with (_level1) {
gotoAndPlay ("labelname");
}
}


Have not tried it yet, but I'll post the result when I do.

That would also only work when the loaded movie is fully loaded... As I said you can't target a frame in a movie that doesn't exist yet, and it only exists when it's fully loaded.

Just mailed you my .flas...
