how link to a specific frame of an embedded swf

i don't understand what you're asking.

When my page opens up, it has some flash behavior, a welcome routine/movie, and
further links. However, when people continue into the site, and want to return
to that welcome page (the home page), I dont want them to endure all the
activity, so I'd like the return links to pull up the welcome page at the end
of all that movie stuff. Well, if you just call up the last frame of that
entire welcome page, maybe the timeline has skipped frames that trigger movies
that make thast last frame appearance.

So in addition to not knowing how to reference that link, as above mentioned,
I dont even know if it can be done. So I just made a new swf at the final
frame with all the movies done playing, and made that the return link.

Thanks for inquiring.

you're welcome.

Can you determine from my feeble attempt to explain, if this is standard operating procedure?

i know what you were trying to do in your original post and accomplishing that would usually utilize the localconnection class.
