Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to make it so that if you click a button in one movie, it tells another movie to goto and play a specific frame. For example, I have 2 movies (2 .swf’s) on a webpage. One is a menu and one is the main content. Can I make it so when you click something in the menu.swf the content.swf goes to and plays a specific frame? I would just use movie import but that seems buggy to me. Thanks.

I don’t know if that’s possible. But if it is… then it’s probably CGI… PHP or smething. It would be much easier if you have loaded a movie into naother movie but…
btw you can just do so that if you click on a button in the menu then you use getURL action… like make .swfs for all the pages and htmls for all the swfs… or sumthin’ 🙂

I’ve though about making it load another html page like that and I forgot what it was but there was a problem. I guess I could do that with CSS so that my menu doesn’t actually change.
