After I loadMovie() why can't i controll it?

[Crusadr]

Hey guys quick question...

I do a:
target.loadMovie("blah.swf");
_root.target.gotoAndStop(1);

and it doesn't do the "gotoAndStop(1)" command.

I've also tried:
stop();
gotoAndStop(1);
_parent.target.gotoAndStop(1);

Nothing works... can you not control a timeline this way?

Ya, you can. Are you checking to see if the movie is completely loaded before telling it to stop?
Or why dont you just put a stop in the first frame of the loaded movie?
