Quick question concerning "load movie"

Question

Hi,
I'm sure this is a dead simple question, but I'm not sure
about syntax. Basically I have several buttons which when pressed
load a new swf into a movie clip _root. I want each different
button to take the viewer to to a different frame in the loaded
movie. So button 2, would open the new swf at frame 1, button 2,
would open the new swf at frame 2, etc.
This is the script I'm using to load the new swf:
on (release) {
_root.bigphoto.loadMovie("big photos.swf");
What should I add to it?
Many thanks.

//****************** main.swf *******************
// button to send two.swf to frame 10
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("two.swf?vars=10",1);
// button to send two.swf to frame 30
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("two.swf?vars=30",1);
//****************** two.swf *******************
// a preloader is required to make sure this movie is fully
loaded before checking the vars value
this.onEnterFrame = function()
var gbt = this.getBytesTotal();
var gbl = this.getBytesLoaded();
if( gbt > 20 && (gbl == gbt))
delete this.onEnterFrame;
gotoAndStop(vars);// jump to the frame number in vars
You can also pass frame labels instead of numbers if you want
to.
