Link to External Flash File Frame

[ridgedale]

Hi, I'm new to Flash am trying to link to an external site, which consists of a single flash file, and load a specific frame. The actionscript code I have attached to the button so far is as follows:

   1.
      on (release) {
   2.
          getURL("http://www.tinhorse.com", "_self");
   3.
          gotoAndStop("we_see");
   4.
      }

The link takes me to the external site as required but does not load the correct frame. It looks like gotoAndStop function is not being passed on to the external flash site but I can't work out why.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Are you trying to go to a frame on the site you are linking to??

If so, that's not possible.

Sure it is possible. LOL, just tricky. It also all depends on the use. Most is hard to do (I haven't found anything in Flash yet that was completely impossible)

You can use get and post with PHP but the easy(er) way is to use FlashVars.

Of course you have to embed correctly and all that.

My question is, if the page sends you to the stand alone movie, why go to a specific frame? And if needed, why not make that the first frame of the movie and call it good?
