[FONT=Arial]Greetings All,  
I am a longtime lurker of [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com) and have learned so much here over the last several years. What a great resource!

I am having trouble finding information about passing a JavaScript variable into my flash movie. I am using flash CS3 and actionscript 2.0. I have developed a flash menu for a website. When a page of the site loads, I would like to tell my flash movie to GoToAndStop on a certain frame of my menu. The frame number would be a variable defined in javascript at the top of my page. I can’t seem to find a straightforward explanation about how to make this happen.

Has anyone tried this, or know of any good resources/tutorials to learn more about this? Any help is greatly appreciated!  
Thanks!
