If they can both be loaded from the same Flash .swf Movie then use Load

Movie and Levels. The command is _levelx where x is the a number between

0 and 16000. The original movie loads on Level zero others above.


```````````````````````````````````````

If loaded separately ther are 3 Methods:


1) HTML Loader - Use GetURL to call an HTML page that can make any

JavaScript call with any Flash capable Browser.


2) FSCommand - Works with only 32 bit Live Connect and ActiveX Browsers

    Netscape 3+  Win 95/98/NT and Power Mac

    MSIE 3+  Win 95/98/NT 


3) JavaScript: Protocol

    MSIE 3 or Opera - Errors and doesn't work.
