calling a specific frame within a loaded movie clip

It seems like there is a simple solution to that (unless i dont fully understand the problem)

you can do that:
1. load the page
2. when someone click on a bottle you load on external swf on one an emty movie clip
ex:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("holder")
_root.holder.loadMovie("youMovie.swf")

3. when someone click on closing the movie you juast remove the movie clip on the holder
_root.holder.removeMovieClip()

I hope this answer the question

best way to describe it is at the source: http://www.fuzzyduck.ca/new.html (any mod can delete this after solving the problem)

if you click a loaded bottle, a page will load. after you click the exit button on the bottle, which doesn't work right now, originally it would reload the whole page, and have the bottles pop up on the page again. I want it to simply call the spot where the bottles are sitting on the page at the last frame.

it takes a couple clicks, but the red bottle does what I'm referring to.

what is the reason to do such a thing? what are you trying to accomplish

To target already loaded content you would use:
1. swf loaded in level 123, targeting mc call MC1

_level123.MC1.gotoAndPlay("some label");

2. swf loaded in movie clip holder call "holder"
_root.holder.MC1.gotoAndPlay("some label");

Loading and going to frame is more tricky because the content need to
be cached in order for you to be able to jump frames. It might work while
authoring because computer process these files quickly but online, when
you load it off the server it could fail.
You need to create some preloader to assure that the file is fully loaded
before you target its frames. Than you can make the LoadMovie call and pass
some parameter to that the frame you need.
Here is one example for such action, even tho it's Flash MX, the general
idea is same:
