\*\*[size=3]Does anyone know how to activate buttons from external swf timelines?[/size] \*\*

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.
