I have two separate browser windows with a flash movie in one. The flash movie has several buttons for navigation in the other browser window. Well, that is how it is supposed to work, but I can only get it to open the url in the current browser or an entirely new browser. Is there any way to control the content of one window from another?

Thanks for the help.

I am not sure if this failed to interest anyone, or if people just did not know the solution, but i finally figured out a way to do this by combining flash with some pretty simple javascript. I found the explanation at this site: [http://www.moock.org/webdesign/flash/launchwindow/launchwindow-javascript.html](http://www.moock.org/webdesign/flash/launchwindow/launchwindow-javascript.html)
