This is going to sound like a LAME question...And personally, I really don't care at this point. I can't figure it out, and I really need your help. So, if you can help me, please be descriptive. And I will get back to the forum's postings on Monday...Thank you for any help you can give...Here's my LAME question:

I am having a hard time targeting external swfs. Basically there are three swfs that trigger one another. The Goal, and end result, is that the third swf (level2), targets a _mc on the first level (level0)... I am having trouble getting (level2), to target ANYTHING at all. This is the actionScript on that level

stop( );
_level0.action1_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);

"action1_mc" is a dummy clip (on the _root level of level0) that contains ActionScript that targets another mc on the main timeline. I've decided to do it this way to keep it a little more organized... Here's the script in this dummy clip:

_root.intro2_mc.infoscreens_mc.gotoAndPlay(13);

"intro2_mc" is a host clip for the second external swf
"infoscreens_mc" is a movie clip within the second swf

I think problem is with the script on level2. (the third and final swf) I've tried targeting several different things from this swf to others, and nothing works.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jenny
