I am trying to go to a specific frame within a new swf when the user clicks a Next button.

Without using movieclips I would like the user to be on page 1 and once they click the Next button it will send the playhead to load a new swf (page 2) in level 0 on a particular frame, (frame 2 of page 2 swf).


 
What I need to do because of bookmarking requirements is have this happen:

If you are on page 1 and you click the Next button it will load page 2.html and the playhead will go to frame 2 of page 2.swf that is embedded in page 2.html. I know there are ways of doing this using movieclips within the same html page but i need a new html page to load because of bookmarking. I don't know of a way to make the playhead move to a particular frame in a new swf embedded in a new html page.

I've seen other posts around the web asking the exact same question but I have not been able to find any answer and I have exhausted my own flash knowledge trying to find a workaround.
