Control main timeline from a movieClip

[djh]

I'm trying to control when the main timeline advances from a mc on a layer, but it doesn't seem to work.

First, I'm loading an external SWF into the mc on the layer. Then, when the external SWF is loaded, I'm trying to advance the main timeline.

bkgpicblur.loadMovie("m"+_root.nRnd+"_blur.swf",0);
bkgpicblur.onEnterFrame = function() {
  tBytes = this.getBytesTotal();
  lBytes = this.getBytesLoaded();
  rBytes = tBytes-lBytes;
  pDone = int((lBytes/tBytes)*100);
  if (pDone >= 100) {
//  gotoAndPlay(3);
//  _level0.gotoAndPlay(3);
// make the main timeline play frame 3!!!
  }
  else {
  gotoAndPlay(2);
  }
}

Help??

There are some issues with loading swfs into movie clips and the loaded movie wipes out any event handlers set in place for the clip the movie is loading into. You should however be able to check the status of the loading from the clip below.

bkgpicblur.loadMovie("m"+_root.nRnd+"_blur.swf",0);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
  tBytes = bkgpicblur.getBytesTotal();
  lBytes = bkgpicblur.getBytesLoaded();
  rBytes = tBytes-lBytes;
  pDone = int((lBytes/tBytes)*100);
  if (pDone >= 100) {
   this.gotoAndPlay(3);
   _level0.gotoAndPlay(3);
   delete this.onEnterFrame;
  }
}
