//TGotoFrame is a command that sends the variable
// the "/" tells the script that the var is going to the top level of the movie
// this can be replaced with the instance name of a movieclip
movie.TGotoFrame('/', putTheFrameNumberHere)
}
// don't forget to put the movie name in the object and embed

What modifications to this example need to be made in order to get the movie to start playing at the frame the playhead has been moved to? Also, where would I find information on the "TgotoFrame" command and others like it?

Thanks in advance

<script language="javascript">
function goTo(clipName,frameNum){
var movie = window.document.YourMovieNameGoesHere;movieclip
movie.TGotoFrame(clipName, frameNum)
}
</script>


you call the function like this:
<a href="Javascript:goto('put_the_clip_name_here','the_fram e_number_here')">gotoFrame</a>

you can get the info at macromedia
