I have a question for any seasoned Action scripters. Here’s my problem, I have two flash files embedded in different parts of an HTML page and I want one flash file to play the other when it gets done.
I would assume that I need to use PHP or javascript to talk with the HTML file that would send the other flash file a command which it was “listening” for. I really don’t know however.
If anyone could help me with this I would be eternally grateful and thanks in advance for your time…

Welcome to kirupaForum, tMac. 😛
You don’t need to use PHP or JavaScript, you use the LocalConnection object.
