Making buttons in seperate.swf's work in main movie

[orlanime]

Well, i got the whole 'load and unload seperate .swf's' to work. Now, I need some assistance on making the buttons in those .swfs to work in the main movie??? This is what I have for one of the buttons in the seperately loaded .swf:

on (press) {
gotoAndStop (10);
unloadMovieNum (1);
}

Yes, the unloadMovieNum (level 1) works fine but, the gotoAndStop (10)-going to frame #10 in the main movie- does not. What scripting am I missing? Some assistance would be great. Thanks again in advance.

Bear in mind that any frame-related actions will be relevant only to the movie that is executing those actions. In order for a seperate movie to do those actions you must target it, eg:

_level1.gotoAndStop(10);

I believe that should work, if not use
tellTarget(_level1)
{
gotoAndStop(10);
}

What action script itle would that fall under, eg: Set Variables, FSCommand, etc?

Actionscript title?

It's just normal code... stick it on a button/frame whatever you want.
