No way to do that currently, except _level0.loadMovie().
Note that this workaround would still not be the same as a restart, as the 
properties
would not be reset.

The rationale for this is that we initialize the VM based on version of the 
top-level
movie. So if you load an SWF5 after an SWF6 the VM would be setup to support 
SWF6.

The Gnash code is still full of globals. This problem can only be fixed by 
providing 
more encapsulation (belive me, the VM class is a big step forward already).
