Tuffkru:<br><br>Check this out, you are almost doing the right thing but you are assuming that when you load movie 2 at _level0 the movie1 stays there. The fact is that when you load the new movie at _level0 the first one is overwritten and the new one takes its attributes.<br><br>This is what you have to do:<br><br>In your scene3 of movie1 do your Load Movie to load the movie2 but load it to _level1 instead of _level0.<br><br>Not a problem, now your movie1 takes you to the movie2. Now to go from movie2 to an scene in movie1 do the following:<br><br>Select the frame in movie1 where you want to come back from movie2 and label it. (for example label it "fff"
Now go to the movie2 and select where you want to go back to the movie1. I don't know if it is a frame or a button but assign the action to the element:<br><br>Add a Tell Target action and in the target write "_level0"<br><br>Inside the Tell Target code add a GO TO AND PLAY action and in the label option write the name of the labeled frame in movie1. In this example it would be fff. NOTE: You won't see it in the drop menu.<br><br>The Tell Target part is saying to the movie2 to go one level up to _level0 and then go to the labeled frame and play.<br><br>One more thing, if you don't add a STOP action to movie1 before you Load the movie2, the two movies will be playing at the same time and you will see both unless of course the movie1 is stopped.<br><br>I hope this helped but if you have any questions write me at <A HREF="mailto:ferhelping@yahoo.com">ferhelping@yahoo.com</A><br><br>Luck, Fernando<br><br> <p>Fernando Regueiro<br><a href=mailto:ferhelping@yahoo.com>ferhelping@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
