how to have loaded movie communicate with loader

Question

I have a movie that loads different swfs on different frames. When the loaded movie is done, I want a next button that can tell the loader to go to frame 2.

Tried several methods. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

the loader.fla file uses a UILoader, so there is no code. I created another file using object loader. That file uses this:

var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();

var swfFile:URLRequest = new URLRequest("step_1.swf");

var container:MovieClip= new MovieClip();

swfLoader.load(swfFile);

container.addChild(swfLoader);

addChild(container);

That also fails. The traces are:

[object Loader]

[object MovieClip]

instance2

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@7fff9c15ea1 to flash.display.MovieClip.

at step_1_fla::MainTimeline/frame2()

you must be changing your code to cause different error messages and that's making it difficult to help you.

if you leave the code in message 16, use:

MovieClip(this.parent.parent.parent).gotoAndStop(2)

in the loaded swf.

where's the code that determines when the loaded swf has completed play?
