Controling seperate swfs

hi all,

just a quick one hope someone out there can help, or send me in the right direction!

ok so i need 2 create one movie that controls a second movie, so i have movie1.swf with a back and forward, and i need them buttons to advance movie2.swf, which is essenialy just a slide show!

the movies will run independantly of each other, i do not want to load movie2.swf in movie1.swf! get me???

so any ideas how i go about this, i have been told of listeners, so movie2.swf will listen for a true or false command before it advances on… and movie1.swf will send out the command when the next is pressed??? would this work?

cheers people
