I am creating a large project using MX Professional screens. To make it more
manageable I have split the programme into a number of separate swf files. To
move from one swf to the next I simply use loadMovieNum() and load the new swf
at level 0 thereby replacing the original.

All this worked well until I tried to incorporate a menu into the first swf.
I want to be able to move to a specific slide within another swf at the press
of a button and I cannot work out how to make it happen. Every variation of
code I try still takes me to the first slide of the new swf. Can anyone help
please?

If you are loading a new SWF file into level 0, it will wipe out what was there
previously. You would be better off placing your menu on level 0 and then load
subsequent movies into a higher level (e.g. 1). This way you retain control and
Flash keeps its memory.

Sounds like a good idea, I will try it. Thanks
