[/COLOR][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][COLOR=#494920]Does anyone know how to control separate swf’s in one html.

Problem :One swf needs to tell the second swf to go to and stop at a specific frame and they are both in the same HTML.

[/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#494920]Im having trouble writting the actionscripting that specifies the other swf to gotoAndstop at a certain flag.

how do I change this, so it can say what I want it to do?

[/COLOR][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][COLOR=#494920]I got the following actionscript from this site. [/COLOR][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][COLOR=#494920][[COLOR=#000000]http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn\_16243[/COLOR]](http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16243)

incoming\_lc = new LocalConnection ();  
incoming\_lc.methodToExecute = function (param) {  
sentMessage.text = param;  
};

And I am not communicating and sending messages to the other swf.

Thanks[/COLOR][/FONT]
