Help with external swf siblings

1

I hope someone can help me out. My goal is to create a flash 6 player piece that has a video running and at certain points trigger changes in the content.

I have done this with ease in Flash MX Pro but I must repeat this functionality for the Flash 6 player.

What I am trying to do is build a flash holder that loads an external swf with an embedded video and another external swf with the content screens. From within the video swf, keyframes will trigger the content swf to change.

The problem is I cannot figure out how to call the content swf from within the video swf.

Any thought??

Thanks.

Go back out to _root (the main file) and rewrite the path to the other loaded swf.

Thanks… works great now.

The movie clip that you are loading an external swf into has to have an instance name so you can reference it with loadMovie

_root.holder.loadMovie(“myexternal.swf”);

for example
