Code:

<script language="javascript">
function goTo(){

        var movie = window.document.YourMovieNameGoesHere;
        //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 
//tags and that swLiveConnect="True"
</script>
<TITLE>goto</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onLoad="goTo()">
<!-- URL's used in the movie-->
<!-- text used in the movie-->
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
 ID=YOUR_MOVIE_NAME_HERE WIDTH=550 HEIGHT=400>

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

Code:

<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_frame_number_here')">gotoFrame</a>

you can get the info at macromedia
