yes but you will need to be sure the movie has loaded to the targeted 

frame, otherwise the JS "go-to) cannot succeed. Might need a 

cross-communication: loading movie loops in a few blank frames while it 

uses "if frame is loaded" to determine if the (potentially) targeted frame 

is ready, then uses FS Command to trigger the JS function that calls the 

appropriate frame. This way you could name the JS function the same but 

modify it in different contexts (different pop-up windows) to make Flash go 

to different frames.
