Activate buttons from external swf timelines

[JO3Y]

Does anyone know how to activate buttons from external swf timelines?

i have this menu that loads external swfs. One of the swfs is an animation of the mouse cursor rolling over the menu. At that point i want to start one of the button animations and action.

ANY thoughts, suggestions and/or comments would be greatly appreciated.

:h:

if you used loadMovie you can target whatever you want as if that external swf were IN the main movie...

if you used loadMovieNum you have to use _level0.pathToYourButton

At least I think... If I'm wrong tell me i'm an idiot and i'll shut up it's like 3am and i should be asleep, not trying to helpe people with actionscript problems

use hitTest so that when the cursor hits the button, the button plays.
