I have a flash with AS3 and inside this swf i load in a AS2 swf.

to load swf works just fine, but the problem is when i load this i want to go to

a specific part of it, for example i want to go to frame 3 in the loaded swf.

i must control this from the AS3 swf, does someone know if this is possible?

thanks in advance

yes, it's possible.  use the localconnection class to communicate between the two swfs.

you can use localconnection to communicate between two as3 files, but there's no need.  it's much simpler to communicate directly use the correct path from the code's scope (or timeline) and the object you want to reference.

the loader's content property (cast as a movieclip) references the loaded swf's main timeline.
