I would create a html page that has two horizontal frames in it. Name them,

top_frame and bottom_frame. Put your flash in the bottom frame, and then through

the use the if frame loaded actionscript command to call the GET URL command

when the final frame is loaded. Oh yeah, the GET URL command would call an html

page that has the midi file imbedded in it.


I used this technique on one of my sites to actually get flash to stop and start

a midi song from a button within flash.
