Hi,
Can anyone point me to a tutorial on deep linking or using swf address. It's a bit confusing for me.
Also my site uses currMovie for it's page transitions. I've noticed the examples seem to have all their pages on the main timeline. Is it possible to deep link with external swf's?
Thanks

I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to here, but maybe this helps::

Remember to name your instances (instance name is in the properties tab when you click on a symbol. To pass information to other movie clips, simply make it like folders, but instead of "\" use "."

In other words, to pass information along to a movieclip called "red" which was inside "ball" which was inside the movieclip you're currently working in, you'd say "ball.red.[actions]"

Or if you need to go backwards, use _root.[instancename].[actions], or to go up only one level, use _parent.[actions]

Is that what you meant about deep linking?

thegrrraue your speaking of dot syntax and taget paths (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00001216.html), carbone6 is talking about SWFAddress add-on (http://www.asual.com/swfaddress/) ( <-- see link)

@ carbone6 - in this thread, the second post has a link you can download a FLA that might help you, its using external SWF's and transitions:
