Is it possible to have a flash movie in one frame communicate to a flash movie in another frame ?
By communicate I mean, interact, or even just tell a flash movie in a frame to advance to another scene or so.I never had to do anything like this, so I'm not sure if it is possible to do.
Let me know what you think
Thanks

of course you can do this.....
there are many ways of going about this, if you want to see how i suggest doing a search on the macromedia search... though i ussually use asp in conjuction with flash , pass one variable out of one flash movie to a script the pass it into the other movie to advance.

Sure... for instance: Movie clip A tells movie clip B to play a sequence with the frame label "turd". Written like this:
_root.A.gotoAndPlay("turd");
depending on the heirarchy of the overall movie. You may need to do something like this...
_parent.A.gotoAndPlay("turd");

frow, but does that work with different movies in different html frames ?
or are you talking about movies within the same movie ?

is it possible to do this without asp, perl or some other sevrver scripting language, or is that my only choice ?
