Hi Markki,

As you're discovering, you cannot TellTarget a movie until it has loaded.

You will need to control the timing of loading movies, loading them at

times when the lower level movie isn't making big demands on the user's

computer.


Although you cannot TellTarget frames that aren't loaded, you can set

things up so that the higher level movie (the one that's being loaded by

level0) checks itself for If Frame Is Loaded.  When the condition is met,

the higher level movie sends a message to the lower level movie (using

TellTarget).  This message can prompt the lower level movie to send a

TellTarget back to the higher level movie, or it can prompt the lower level

movie to display a button that TellTargets the higher movie.  This is a bit

convoluted, I know, but it's the method I've developed to let the level0

movie know when it's okay to target the higher level movie.
