this is kind of part of the question i was asking below, but just to try and get the crux of it into a nutshell:
is it possible to make a flash movie so that when the user clicks a button, a new window opens and the movie skips a number of frames and starts on, say, frame 20 instead of frame 1 ?
(its for the internet - if that makes any difference - i dont know if it does or not)
