Targeting a loaded movie clip

Here's my problem, I have navigation buttons on the root timeline that load different swf's into a target movieclip.

Example:
loadMovie("Videos2.swf", Target_mc);
Is there a way I can tell the the loaded movie Videos2.swf to go to a certain frame and play from the root timeline?
I can adjust all the parameters of Target_mc, _x, _y and _alpha but Target_mc.gotoAndPlay(50) doesn't work, neither does Target_mc.play(). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Ugggh, all it was a typo. I scanned the code over and over and found a single period where it wasn't supposed to be. Thanks.

I had thought of that and I am using a preloader. The swf is fully loaded and It still doesn't work.

you must wait until loading is complete (use preloader code or use the onLoadInit() method of the moviecliploader class listener) before trying to direct the loaded swf to its frame 50.
