Swf communication

[bubu]

Hello guys!
I have 2 swf's: "menu" and "movie".

When i press a button from "menu" swf i want the appropriate text to appear in the "movie" swf...so how can i link the 2 movies? Regards,
Dragos.

if as i suspect movie is loading into an empty clip in menu
then you just target the text

on (release){
_root.clipname.textbox.htmltext = whatever;
)

if it aint that simple then you need to use a localconnection

let me know which it is...either way its straightforward.

Hello Bill... it's not the easy way...there are 2 sepparate swf's in the same html, just like here:

...but i have solved the problem thanks to DianaCL's help...and yes you were right you have to use a local connection.

I will post the files in case somebody will have the same problem.

Thanks a lot for your reply Bill! Regards,
Dragos.
