[thelist] Controlling one Flash movie from another

[Andrew Bayley]

i'm just guessing here, as you haven't given too much detail, but you could
set a global variable in the parent movie, and then in the first frame of
the child, check for it and perform the correct gotoAndPlay action.

Hi folks

I'm sure this must have been answered loads of time and, no doubt, its
probably simplicity itself but I'm blowed if I can find the answer.

I want a Flash movie to run from the 1st or 150th frame depending on
instructions from its parent.

How can I load a child swf within a parent swf and automatically tell it to
run from frame 150.

It has to happen with no mouse event. I'm afraid I'm still on Flash 5.

Any help gratefully received.
