Load Movie

[CharlesJR]

I am connecting with my homepage(which itself is a movie) from another page in the site I'm working on via a "Home" button scripted with the "LoadMovie" command. It works great but I would like it to go directly to the last frame of the homepage movie, where the navigation buttons are. How would I script this?

One of our first threads discussed this:

Basically you pass a variable when you load the Home movie. At the start of it's timeline the Home movie checks if that variable exists and if it has a certain value. If it does, then it jumps to a certain spot in the timeline. Is that what you were after?

Thank you Jesse....Yeah, that's more or less what I'm looking for...So it would be something like 'get, frame 191'...?

Your home would have something like:
if (jumpTo != undefined) {
_root.gotoAndStop(jumpTo);
}
Then when you call the Home SWF and want to jump to a certain place you'd use:
loadMovie("home.swf?jumpTo=someSection",0);
Where 'someSection' is a string defining the frame lable you want to jump to. Labels are best for this sort of thing.
