Having one swf trigger another, in a different location

[bjornenki]

Hi,

I am wondering if there is any way perhaps with cue points or something similar to have, say mainvideo.swf, at a certain time during playback cause flashingbutton.swf to play, at a specific time, in a different location on the page.

It seems cue points can load external videos and play them at certain times, but is this limited only to the area and contents of the original video, or can a video with cue points trigger separate flash videos to play in different locations on the page at specific times ?

Basically, I want to have a button flash at a specific time during playback of mainvideo.swf without having to include it in the same flash, placing it in a different place on the screen than mainvideo.swf

Thanks

You'd most probably need to use a localConnection combined with the use of either cue points and/or timeline actionscript to target the other .swf seperately embedded elsewhere on the same page...
