LoadSWF and jump to frame

[kingkahuna]

OK. Simple but totally infuriating. I've spent hours with MX Help and no luck.
I have a BTN loading an SWF into an empty MC called audioMC. I'm trying to get the SWF to play on load from frame 2. Frame 1 inside SWF has a stop action which needs to be there for the buttons within it, so I can't put anything there.

The BTN is scripted thus:


on (release) {
audioMC.loadMovie("awakening.swf");
audioMC._x = 320;
audioMC._y = 18;

I think I need an onClipEvent, but I don't know how or where to put it. Is there any light in the darkness?

I've read that you can't go to a frame of an external SWF until it's fully loaded. Bummer. Is there any other way? Otherwise I'll redesign.

just check to see if the movie is fully loaded before you call any of your command. It is basically the same script as a preloader. Additionally, you could use MovieClipLoader() to avoid the hassle.
