tell swf of page change 1

[seanbo]

is there any way of placing code in the html page in one frame, that tells a swf in another frame that it's just been loaded?

ie - i have a swf banner in one frame, and another frame for html pages. when the html page changes, i want the swf to react.

Yes, using javascript and Flash methods...

i thought the java script had to be in the same page as the swf for this to work? will it still work if it's in a different html page, but part of the same frames page?

The html called in the html pages' frame should have an onLoad function, telling the top frame (the frameset's html) to call another function in the banner's frame html, that then has the banner.swf react.

i have placed this method in that frame that contains the swf (the frame is called 'top'):

function stopAt(frame){
myMovie.GotoFrame(frame);
}

the method works perfectly when called from the same frame. what code do i need to call it from another frame?
