Wayne: Damien.
J.D.: Dude, she's Vader.
Wayne: No! She's the Emperor.
J.D.: Yeah, but with really great ****.

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, i got that far, but when I go to the new url, i want to run the movie there, starting at frame 2.

why go to a new url???

why not just start the movie at frame (2) on gotoandplay

you could just have another swf file without the first frame

sounds like your not making the site right... you shouldnt need multiply html pages for a flash site

the website designer wanted:

ifa usergoes to page 'A' from a link in the html then the movie loads paused

if the user goes to page 'A' from the swf in page 'B' then we play go to page 'A' and the movie plays.

Check it out here if you likehttp://www.hofmanimage.com/bulkflow/2004/index4d.htm- click on the movie on the right, and then click on the mass flow button after it stops moving. It will be there like that until 4pm MST 8/17/04.

my solution ended up using a querystring and asp to decide how they got to this page, and I made 2 swf movies (as per one of your suggestions) and played whichever one accordingly.

Because the site will eventually be in several languages, we don't want to have 2 of each movie for each language - doubles the amount of swf files. We decided that we will keep the movie stopped at all times.

Thanks very much for your help dawg.

Cheers,
Michael

Yeah... that's a weird scenario...
When an HTML page reloads..so does the flash, unless you built the HTML in frames. You'd have to pass a variable through the actual URL to the flash movie. Build some 'checker' code on the initial frame of your flash. Something like:

if(passedVariable == true) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else if(passedVariable == false) {
stop();

This code would run everytime the flash movie reloads.
Make sense?

awesome. Thanks for the input. I didn't think to check the variable in the actual movie.


You da man!
