Go to Director Movie

[maxsimms webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I am pretty new to Flash, and therefore have only a minimal understanding of Actionscript.

I am using Flash to create a rollover menu that will be used for navigation in a Director projector. I know the Actionscript to use to go to a frame in the same Director movie in which the Flash menu is placed:

getURL("lingo: go frame(2)")

I do not know, however, the Actionscript to go to a different movie.

For example, if the Flash menu the user is using is currently in the Director movie "fred.dir", and the user clicks a button in the Flash menu to go to another Director movie called "bob.dir", what is the Actionscript to go to "bob.dir"?

Also, if I can ask a further question, what would be the Actionscript for going to a specific marker in "bob.dir"?

Thanks for your help!

try:

getURL("lingo: go frame("FRAME_MARKER_NAME") of movie("MOVIE_NAME") ");

where MOVIE_NAME is the name of the movie (without a .dir extension) and FRAME_MARKER_NAME is the name of the marker.

so if you want to go to a frame marker called 'mark1' in a director movie called 'themovie.dir' the line would be:

getURL("lingo: go frame("mark1") of movie("themovie") ");
