how link to a specific frame of an embedded swf

I have 2 html pages, each with a different swf's, with nav bar, at the same
folder level, but different folders.
I want to link from page two to page one, to a certain frame in the swf of
page one (in order to skip the welcome timeline).
I ought to know this but I'm hazy. Kindly advise please?

are you using getURL() to load the html pages (that embed the swfs) into an iframe?

yes, but I can do that other thing if I can get a reminder. Not load movie,
but gotoandpstop, something like that, that allows you to specify the swf and
the frame. Just as long as I get the syntax right. Recall this button is in a
nav bar movie clip. Thanks!

you can use the localconnection() to communicate between your loaded swf and the nav bar.

OK well that's a term I've never heard of.

check the localconnection class in the help files. classes are listed alphabetically once you get to the actionscript classes section.

I am in a movie nav bar with a button. I need the button to reference (link
to) up 2 folder levels and then into an html page with a swf, into that swf and
stop at frame #123.

How do I do that please?

all paths from a swf are relative to the html page that embeds that swf. once
you load your external swf it use localconnection to your navbar swf. in your
nav bar swf, you can use a variable to indicate the external swf should stop at
frame 123.

I'm a novice and in our classes they never even mentioned LocalConnections.
The help files are greek to me,
saying stuff about sending and receiving data.
I recall doing something like

with (_root)...

or

_root.movie.play...

or

this...

or

.parent...? etc


but that was jumping around with movie clips in the same folder or same
document.
Now I dont know how to establish a link going up 2 folder levels and get to a
particular swf frame inside an html.
I thought this was pretty simple, mostly just knowing which command, what the
target syntax is, and the final script syntax. Any thoughts? Thanks for your
time !

OK well I guess I'm out of luck here.
Finally I just made a new swf in the state I wanted it to be.
Now I wonder if I could have called up the frame location in the previous swf?
Seems the problem would be that sub movies in that previous swf would not be
done running, or triggered. Is that true?
