FLASH: Talking to external SWF's. Not using load movie?!

[Shaun Brazier]

Hi,


I a have a swf menu (Movie 1) in the left hand frame of a frameset.  I would

like to control a swf sub menu (Movie 2) in the top frame of the frame set.

I also need to be able to open html content in the main frame from both

SWF's.  I hadn't intended to load the sub menu (Movie 2) using "load movie"

action in the main menu (Movie 1).  What options do I have, considereing I

need the movies in seperate frames?  Is it possible to talk to another SWF

without having the talking movie(Movie 1) load it first?


Please help!


TIA.


Shaun.
