I am trying to find a way to have 1 swf on a html page talk to another separate swf on the same page, bascially they listen first to see if each of them are on the page and have loaded, then at a certain point on swf 1 in the timeline it does something (doesn’t matter) that tells swf 2 to start or goto a frame etc.

I’ve heard you can do this using javascript.

Is there an easier way without involving javascript?

Can I get an example of this?

Thanks
