Example
The following example stops the playhead in the main timeline of the SWF file sub.swf that is
loaded into
_level9. The sub.swf file contains animation and is in the same directory as the
document that contains the following ActionScript:
loadMovieNum("sub.swf", 9);
myBtn_btn.onRelease = function() {
_level9.stop();
};
You could replace _level9.stop() in the previous example with the following code:
_level9.gotoAndStop(5);
This action sends the playhead in the main Timeline of the SWF file in _level9 to Frame 5
instead of stopping the playhead.
