Flash & html frames??? 1

[Guest_imported]

Hey is it possible to have a flash movie in one html frame communicate with a flash movie in another html frame? Like is it possible to have a botton in html frame that when you hover over it, it loads a certain level in another movie that is in a different html frame. I dont want the entire html frame to get reloaded, i just want to load a new movie onto a different level of a movie that is already running (but do this from a different html frame).
I hope this makes sence. Anyways, if anyone has any clue about this maybe you could fill me in or show a quick code on how to do it...

thanks!

Never tested it... But it should be possible, as you can have two side-by-side embeded movies talk to each other in the same html. But then again maybe the frameset could f... things up!
In any case, you would have to use javascript and Flash methods.

If I have some free time in the coming days, I might try to work out a small example... But no promises!

That's what I had in mind... Thought it was 2 movies embedded in the same html, but no, it uses a frameset, as you want to do.
You can download the .fla and files envolved!

Good luck!
