FLASH: sync frames question

[Al Johnstone]

Hi folks,


Is it possible to check whether the content in another frame has finished loading before playing a scene.


I have a framed site with flask in one frame and html in the other. The two frames are synched so that you can change to both a new flash scene in one frame and a new html page in the other by clicking links on either the html page or the flash page. 


The problem is that the delay between the loading of the frames causes the html page to reinitiates the flash. It looks like the movie has hiccuped. It starts and then starts again.


What I would like to do is delay the playing of the movie until both the html frame and the flash scene have loaded. Is it possible to script this?
