Hi. Just a quick question.

Is there a way of using getURL to open another flash file on a specified frame?

The only thing is, I’d like it to go via the preloader.

Maybe it makes more sence to be able to pass a variable over. So when u click the button it sends you to the other page/file, but sends a variable with it. So as soon as the preloader is complete it goes to the relevant frame according to what the variable is.

wo! I have a way of over complicating things in words.

any ideas?
