I am curious if it is possible without using some other kind of language to target a movie that is located in the same html file, but in a different frame???

Basically lets say my one swf files is a navigation bar. I then have other frames in the html file and when i click a button i want it to goto a frame in a different swf file which is in a different frame. Do i have to do a getUrl call? or is it different because is it an swf file???

I’m not absolutely sure if this will work with frames, but still:[LocalConnection Object](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary437.html)
