FLASH: Load Movie - Frame # or (N)

[Chris]

Going through the manual I couldn't really find anything too in depth on

loading movies. Could I have a "blank" Flash .swf load a movie onto a

new level, but also have it start at a certain frame (wether it be

number, scene or name)  instead of the first frame of the swf. Like in

Director if I call on another movie I can also specify the frame I want

it to go to when it loads that movie ... can I specify this in Flash? or

does it always have to start at the begining. What I want is to load one

swf but at certain times the buttons link to html files ... but then whe

they hit "back", I want them to jump back to that section they wer in

instead of going through the whole process again. My pan was that when

they hit back ti would go to "blank.swf" which would have an action in

the first frame to load movie (the same original swf) but just at

different point. Would there be any other way? The client doesn't want

it to open a new window for the html, then close the window upon going

back (that was the original idea). Is this possible or are there any

other suggestions .... remember, you're talking to a designer not a

programme, any new or crazy thoughts need spellinging out .... lamens

terms please :-) ... I'm guessing there could be a "tell targets" thing

in here somewheres .... please go gentle on me ... and please don't just

have a "go to mooks website" answer just to get me out of here ...

unless it explains somewhat simply (or in detail because I'm sure it's

not *really* simple) how I'd go abouts doing this.


thank you very much
