I have 5 buttons in a Flash movie. Here is what I want to happen. When a button is pressed a new page opens (which contains another Flash movie) and the timeline jumps to the relevant frame. The frame number depending on which button was pressed.

Does anyone know if I can load a page using getURL and call a Javascript function on that page at the same time?

Thanks...
In the future everything will work.
 
Not clear if you want to open a new window holding this new Flash movie, or replace the original 5 buttons movie in that original window... But if you call an html with getURL, seems to me you could have an "onload" javascript function execute when that page is opened.
Suppose you were calling this page:
Here javascript buttons control where you'll be going, but in your case, it could be automatic.

Hope that this

Thanks Oldnewbie...

Yeah I've tried using the onLoad handler but to no avail. I want the new page to replace the old page. There is a Flash movie on both pages and I want the first movie to open the new page and jump to the relevant frame in the second movie. I've tried using variables and If Else statements but it doesnt quite work. In the future everything will work.
