I just read the ‘Transitions between external SWFs’ tutorial. Now I have a question… in the example used, the buttons for switching between SWF movies are part of the movie. Is it also possible to control/navigate between movies from outside of the Flash file?

I mean, I want to place my navigating buttons in HTML. Is that going to be a problem?
