**[size=1]NEXT FRAME control from external swf[/size]** [font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]I’ll try my best to explain this…

I have my main swf that randomly loads a number of external swf files in a target (called ‘target’). The main swf is 8 frames, each frame along the timeline randomly loads one of the external swfs and stops.

I would like to the buttons on the external swf files to progress the main swf by 1 frame.

This is something I thought I would have no problem with, maybe it’s getting late…

Any help would be much appreciated.[/size][/font]
