    How can you open a flash window using html?

    I want to use a dynamic text box to upload updates I've made to the site. I was wondering if I could put any type of coding in the text file to allow the link to open a flash window. Say I have a link, and I want it to open a window in flash for a 8-ball flash movie. I guess I could put the 8-ball flash movie in html and then have the link just go to that html file with the flash in it. Is there any other way to do it?

    I'm assuming you've already gotten your answer on this but.... You could just link right to the swf file. This will jsut open it's own window but only do this if you really don't want to put it in a HTML page.

    If you want to load a flash into another flash, U should use the concept of loadMovie or loadMovieNum.

    Check the website
    :: Digital Galaxy ::

    This website is entirely madeup of flash and use only one HTML page.

    The concept is,

    lets assume you have a flash move/file in a folder.
    Also you have another movi/flash in the same folder.

    now you can do this,

    loadMovieNum("flashfileyouwanttoload.swf",1) <-this will load the flash above another flash, if there is only one move.

    or you can create a move clip upon which another move can be loaded.

    Here there is a blank move clip available already in the stage with a instance name "movie1"

    now you can use loadMovie("flashtoload.swf","movie1");
    Here the "flashtoload.swf" movie will replace the "movie1"

    Hope this gives you an idea.
    Also there is another concept attachMovie();

    Make search for the tutorials for these three concepts,
    loadMovieNum();
    loadMovie();
    attachMovie();
