No, rearrange your Flash Movie or create a second one for that use.

Server space should not be a problem to add a second version.

Furthermore, no Flash movie should be started anywhere but the beginning

unless you use Wait-for-Frame (If Frame is Loaded in Flash 3) as this

could lead to failure of the Movie (possibly intermittently). For Flash

to run properly it must have all referenced sections in Memory. If you

don't have initial scenes in sequence during the loading period then you

may jeopardize the integrety of the Movie and strange things could

happen or the Movie could fail outright. For this reason a Flash movie

should be arranged as much as possible in a chronological order and

forward looking calls should only be make when you are sure the movie is

loaded, at least to the point you are calling. The Wait-for-Frame (If

Frame is Loaded in Flash 3) is used to prevent those problems by

checking to see if the appropriate frame has been loaded.
