Hi Charlene.


You don't necessarily need to change it, but your idea will take a rather

complex scheme to accomplish.  Since you cannot tellTarget a movie (or

frame of a movie) that has not loaded, you will need some crosstalk.  As

the new movie loads, it can use If Frame is Loaded to determine when the

necessary frames have loaded, then it can use TellTarget and/or FS Command

to communicate to the first movie or to JavaScript that it is ready.  The

first movie or the JavaScript code must be set up so that when it receives

this message, it then directs the newly loaded movie to go to the

appropriate frame and play.  Until that happens, you can make the newly

loading movie park itself (that is, make it stop in a frame that has no

graphics).
