For FSCommand/ActiveX capable browsers you can use:

GotoFrame (int frameNum) - Goto a specific frame of the movie. Care must

be taken with this method because if data for a requested frame is not

yet available, the player will goto the last frame available and stop,

causing unexpected results during playback. Use the PercentLoaded()

method to determine if enough of the movie is available to execute the

GotoFrame() method.

Giving different ID's to each movie on the page allows you to address

many different movies on the same page.


See MM Tech Note 4160 Links to this and other info under Scripting at

the Flash Tech Resource (link in my sig).

Not sure if I know what you mean.
