controlling Director movie with Flash

[AndrewFish]

I have a Director file that has to react to a Flash file. Specifically, I have
a director file that includes a Flash file. When the swf reaches a certain
frame, a movie has to pop up within the Director file. How can I accomplished
this? Is it something that I have to program into the Flash file

Thanks for your help

Hi Andre

If you place a handler in a moviescript you can call this handler from the
flash movie with
//----------------------
// ActionScrip
getURL("Lingo:handlerName()")

You can pass a string along with this call if you do like this
//----------------------
// ActionScrip
var param = "someString"
getURL ('Lingo:handlerName(\"'+(param )+'\")')

Then in your moviescript place the handler
//----------------------
-- Ling
on handlerName (param
-- Do whateve
put para
en


// Morte

[ And - you can also execute a handler inside an object like
gMyObject.handlerName() if you need to

Thanks for your response, I really appreciate it. Now, keep in mind that I am
rather new to ActionScript and a complete newbie to Lingo, so bear with me. I
actually have only one thing I need to do. What I created is a Director movie
encloses a Flash movie, and the Director movie is controlled by navigation
throughout the Flash movie. When my Flash movie reaches a specific frame, it
needs to send a message the Director movie that it's enclosed in to move to a
specific frame.

Now,from your reply I'm guessing that in the ActionScript for the frame,
(naming the handler "handle") that I should write

getURL("Lingo:handle()");

Now, about the Lingo script, I have no idea, I just need a script within a
frame that is triggered by the Flash script to go to another frame within the
movie

Thanks again for your help

I have made a small example for you to look into
