    GetURL - play frame

    Flash 8, AS 2.0

    Ok, I know this has been answered before, but I can't find it.

    I'm looking for the easiest way to encode a getURL with a variable to play a particular frame on the other end

    I want to getURL("index.html")
    and play frame 420 in index.html

    I'm looking for the simplest way to do this.

    I understand that getURL in and of itself, only fetches the URL, and doesn't control the Flash movie in that page.

    I know I need to create a variable in the index.html file, and then pass it from the getURL using POST, but I don't know the syntax for either side, or where to put the code in the index.html page
    (Do I put the index.html code in the html page itself, or in a frame/layer in the swf file?)

    As simple as possible please, but something that will work with all browsers, if that is not too much to ask.

    Thanks in advance

    You have to comunicate the main .swf with the index.html .swf and pass the variables from one swf to the other That is using "LocalConnection". On main swf,
    Actionscript Code:
    executeFrame=true
    and on the index.html swf
    Actionscript Code:
    onEnterFrame=function(){
    if(executeFrame==true){
    gotoAndPlay(420);

    }
    }

    Then you have to pass the variable "executeFrame" from the main swf to the other swf. I don't know much about Local Connection, but if I have a chance, iwill gladly help ^_^
