Moving to frame X in other .html page

[NevG]

Hi

Can someone please help me with my last problem of the day.

I have several .html pages (6 in fact) all containg flash movies. I have a button on each page that returns me to the home page, that is itself a flash movie. I would like to be able to move to the frame after all the animation has ended so as not to bore the user over and over again.

Please help me asap!

Thanks

NevG

why not just put a gotoAndPlay action on the lasy frame of your animation?

sorry last frame of your animation!!!

If you mean skip the intro part of your home page movie, and keep using 6 different htmls, guess the only way will be to use cookies (the user has been here previously!) and the FSCommand with javascript, to direct your home page movie to a specific frame frame after the intro.

Not an easy task ahead!
Good luck!

Or why not point your html pages to a new homepage movie?
so make a duplicate front page but without the intro then when they click to go home they are actually opening a new movie, it just looks the same, you can use a shared library to keep both front pages in sync.
A bit more easier than fs and java

Astrevens,
Guess that might work within the same visit... But if the user has the original link down as one of his favorites or hits the back button, he would then go through the intro once again. In any case, this might be a good compromise in regard to the use of a cookie, that has it's own flaws, even if you didn't get into the FSCommand stuff but, on reading the cookie, just redirected the user to a second home page, as you're suggesting!

Why not convert them to ASP then have the asp pass it on to javascript telling it what frame to play on, that way if anyone saves the link, you'll end up with something like

http://www.blabla.com/htmlpage1.asp?nointro=1

or some other variable or something, and it will make it so they dont have to view it again, ya know...just in case cookies are disabled?

Luke,
Why don't you test this out? Could be your assignment for the weekend!
... And then we would know if it works before we (on your hunch!) get into something like that!
