First you're confusing layers and levels (that only really exist in the player...), and loadMovieNum is for loading on levels not layers...

To clear the above...

Assuming all movies have been fully loaded on their own level, you can control the timeline of one movie loaded on level 2 (from a button in a movie loaded on level 3, for example...), by targeting the level on which the movie is loaded...

From a button in a level 3 loaded movie...

on(release){
_level2.gotoAndStop(10); // for example...
}
