Load swf via html link/button

[redant]

Can I do this. I was told to look up ExternalInterface? Is there code anywhere? This seems like it may have been done before. I have 4 buttons on the html page and i want them to load different swfs in the header or go to different points on one swf. Is that possible? Any help is appreciated. AS3 preferably. Thanks!

My recent favorite method to accomplish something like this would be to use swfAddress. It's an API for deeplinking into flash content. There are many other technologies that are using swfAddress as well. Check it out here. The examples are great and yes they show you how to do it all in as3 as well. http://www.asual.com/swfaddress/

Depending on your site link architecture it might for some odd reason not be the best solution. If you are trying to do something really simple then yes look up ExternalInterface. The Flash IDE documentation will be enough to get you going on this.
