Is there any way to create a navigation bar that is a separate movie from the main movie, but is able to target the main movie.

I’ve done this previously using frames, and so actionscript was able to target the frame, for instance, ("\_mainFrame"). But i’d like to do this within FlashMX… How do i target another movie sitting in the same html document? does that make sense?
