1 swf controlling another swf on the same page

[Endo Rider]

i have two seperate SWF files and both will be displayed on the same html page at the same time. i want both of their animations to be synchronized. is there anyway to have one swf check the other and see if it's done loading then tell it to play? any help or suggestions would be appreciated. thanks.

TYou would use Local Connection to communicate between two swf's on the same html page...

Although it would probably simpler if you expanded the stage in one of the and loaded the other into it with loadMovieNum(). Its easier to comminicate then ( or combine the two movies in the same fla ).
