controlling outside movies

[John Newcomb]

I have a button in one movie and I need it to tell another movie (that's in
another HTML frame) to play specific frame number. Can some one help me out
here?

Hi,
I am not 100% sure if you can do that easily but I just thought about
something:
You could have a php page in that frame and just point your link target to
that frame passing a variable (blabla.php?frame2go=15) to the flash movie
which would then check that variable and go to corresponding frame...
This would work for sure, but then of course I dont know if you want to use
php...

You could do it using local connection (examples at macromedia website) or
using javascript > chekc this example I once made (long time):
