Hello~

How would we navigate to a Different Scene when calling a url?

We have:

on(release){  
getURL (“page2.html”, “swfname.swf”);  
}

…and know that won’t get us there because it is:

getURL(url, window, method).

what to do?

Thanks!

If you’re trying to load an external swf into the main movie then you’ll need to use loadmovie. Read this tutorial for that.

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full\_site.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site.htm)

If you’re calling another html page that has the swf embeded on it already then all you need is the getURL script.

Hello~

I understand the loadMovie code but have looked in all my books on how to specify a specific scene when navigating back to the desired swf. How would I do that?
