First of all, let me say that to get as far as they have Macromedia has acting

in very exacting and intelligent ways, and I don't expect that to change with

Flash 4.

Actually, its not a half-baked idea at all, and in fact I have already done it

with Javascript!

Basically you call the URL of the HTML file that has the SWF embeded in it

followed by a ? and then the frame # (and a + if you want the movie to play

after it jumps to that frame.  The code works for both IE and Netscape and is

available in the advanced FLA section of FlashZone under the name of

Cross-Browser Goto Frame.
