Hello,
I'm hoping someone here can help me. I have an swf with a menu button that loads an external swf:          on(release) {
    loadMovie("Unit-Type.swf",_root.MC_UnitTypes);
}


When that menu movie is loaded I want to be able to click a button and have it go to a certain frame in the root movie and close itself. I have this code but it's not working:    on(release){
        _root.gotoAndPlay(25);
}

Correct answer Ned Murphy

Here's a link to two files I created to test your code based on the description of what you wanted.  See what you can find that is different from what you did.  The file with the 2 in its name is the main file.

The names of the files are not intended to offend... They're named just to be easy reminders for me to delete them from my system come the next time I do so.

try this

_root.gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 25); or whatever your first scene is called

What is not working?  As long as you don't have a _lockroot set that should cause the main file to go to frame 25.

I agree, it should work, but nothing happens at all.

Not much I can offer.  If I use your code, it works fine for me.
