TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

I have an problem:

The problem is I have a html document loaded, and I have two swf documents loaded in this html document. However, I have swf no. 1 comprised of a button that I want to give actions to control objects in swf no. 2. Could you please give me a procedure to do this.

Thank You,
