Movie Clip Control/Timeline Control Question

[ChrisinNY78]

Hello all on this night!

I created two swf files. One file is the menu bar with AS2 buttons (menu.swf), and the second file is the material related to the buttons (homepage.swf)

Two questions (possibly one).

With both files loaded in the same HTML document, is it possible for the menu.swf to control the time line of the homepage.swf?

When digging through the adobe site for terms of the AS2 functions; does using the function "targetpath" accomplish controlling the seperate timeline?

Many thanks!
Chris

Although I've never personally used it - what you're looking for is establishing a "local connection". I found a post here on as.org that may help you ...
