Controling an extern movie

[N3XuS]

Now the only thing I still didn't learn is how to work and control seperate movies. As in control another Flash movie (which is in a different frame(using the Frameset crap in HTML)). So I want to start playing another in a frameset to the left of the main movie when some button is pushed, anyone got a clue It's pretty basic I guess. Also I want to be able to preload a movie which is not included into the preloader. + is there any way to partially preload a movie that consists of only one Frame in the rootTimeLine?

Many Thx.

If I understand you correctly, starting another movie in another frame of a frameset is relatively easy.
on(press){
geturl("themovietostart.swf", "leftframe"
}
leftframe being the exact same name you gave that frame in your frameset.

Don't get your second question!

yes that will load the movie into the left frame, but can I start and stop the movie with the Movie in the Right frame?

I can control another movie (or movies) in the same html. Never tried it in a frameset. Maybe possible! Would have to think about it!
Do you really need the frameset?

the URL you sent did exaclty what I wanted to do. I don't Realy need it, but I will need it probably. Seems like something i'll need anyhow. I wanted to use it for the "shake" thingie but it doesn't work with seperate movies either. The browser just stops any animation when "shaking" the the browser so ...
