Button in SWF to control main(root) SWF???

Hi Everyone.

Here is the problem. This is done in Flash 8.

I have a main SWF that has a movieclip on the stage that I have given an instance name to.

This movieclip is the site's navigation bar. Within this movieclip there are buttons. Also, there are markers on different frames that the buttons will make the timeline go to on(release). Upon entering those markered frames, the actionscript on those frames loads another SWF into the main SWF's stage.

So, my question is regarding controlling the main SWF's movieclip (which contains the navigation) with a button that is in the other loaded SWF.

Here is the link so you can see what I'm talking about. www.sq2d.com/codygatesite/

On the "About" section, the text button "See our portfolio companies >" at the bottom should go into the main SWF, then into the navigation movieclip, and jump to the appropriate markered frame. Below is the actionscript that I was applying to the button.


on (release) {
_root.navigation.gotoAndPlay ("portfolio");
}


THANKS SO MUCH!!!

So you want to know how to control a SWF from a separate SWF that is loaded inside the first one??
