    Default Layer Animation on a Path Trouble

    1. How do I make the following script only start when you click on a link?
    2. How do I make it only start when I click on a link located on another frame?

    <body>

    <!-- Important Notice ( Delete this after you read it ) -->
    <!-- The layer used below is just a sample one to make the timeline run. -->
    <!-- Delete it and paste your own layer in this place but make sure that -->
    <!-- you change "sampleLayer" below and in the fifth line after the copyright message. -->
    <!-- End of Notice -->

    <!-- Sample Layer [Cut] -->
    <div id=sampleLayer style="position:absolute; top:20px; left:15px; width:100px; height:100px; background:#EEEEEE; border: 1px solid #919191; font-family:Verdana; font-size:8pt">Sample Layer</div>
    <!-- End of Sample layer -->

    Default

    1) Get rid of this:
    Code:
    window.onload=timeline;
    Make a link on your page:
    Code:
    <a href="#" onclick="timeline();return false;">Start Timeline</a>
    2) Get rid of this:
    Code:
    window.onload=timeline;
    Make a link on your page in another frame:
    Code:
    <a href="#" onclick="parent.framename.timeline();return false;">Start Timeline</a>
    where framename is the name of the frame containing the page with the script on it.
