When using the _root.loadMovie(); feature, is it possible to go to a specific frame within the movie thats being loaded instead of directly to frame one? I have 3 movies I want to link.
TMC-HOME
TMC-HOME2
TMC-HOME3
on TMC-HOME2 AND 3 I want to click on the home button and go to TMC-HOME but to frame 53. Can this be done? I found this information from this form so I signed up the problem is I don't understand it completely for my 3 movies, like in what goes where. The information is:

it has to be a two stage operation... load the movie - then jump to frame 20 - the problem with this is that maybe you don't want the users to see the previous frames (I sincerely hope you are talking about using your own movie here and not skipping frames so we don't see somebody else's credits)
I would...
frame 1 place a target MC with the instance name MCholder away off to one side of the stage.
frame 2 load the SWF into the target _root.MCholder
frame 3
_root.MCholder.gotoAndStop(53);
_root.MCholder._x = correct X position on stage;
_root.MCholder._y = correct Y position on stage;
_root.MCholder.play();

Also, when loading dynamic text from an external file, I'm using the filename.txt with the scrollbar, is it possible to create links from the loaded file to other sections of the text being loaded and to other external files. If so, can you please show me how? Thank you very much.
