Ok, there’s go to be an easy way to do this, i have three HTML pages each conataining a SWF.  
I need to link the three pages together, so for instance from the front page i need to link via a button to another SWF file that is contained within square.html. If i go to the button in question and then type in the following actionscript:

on (release) {  
gotoAndPlay(“square.html”);  
}

I was hoping this would open up “square.html” and then play the SWF, can somebody please tell me where i’m going wrong with this?

Thanks.
