Need help URGENT!!!

Someone please help.

I have a html page that has a link, which links to another html page with a flash file on. What i need is when this flash page is accessed i need a new movie to load, which would usually load from the navigation when someone clicks on a button.

Is there anyway to link to a page which then loads a new movie into the main movie. can this be done???

Cheers Maizoon, but thats not what i was looking for.

I want to know how to link in html to open a flash movie then load another flash movie into that movie.

Any Ideads???

You mean a html link from inside Flash ? Then do a search "asfunction". If not, then just create a link to a html page in which a flash movie just loads another swf into itself using loadMovie. For that, check out the link Maizoon posted :)

the link is a plain html <a href> tag in html link, outside of flash.

Is it possible to click the link to load a flash movie, then within the same link get it to load another flash movie within the first flash movie.

Simply have the first flash file load another within itself one using loadMovie, and then just link to that swf using the html link, or the page in which that swf is placed :)

Cheers Voetsjoeba, but do u have an example or some working files to show me how this works.

Much appreciated for your help.

...why?
Why do you need 2 swf's?
And if you really do, all you need in the base-swf is a loadMovie action to bring the other one in..

The main swf is my navigation and then it loads a product in to it. but on the product swf, it has a back button which loads another swf file.
You can see it here http://www.sold-out.co.uk/soldout/products/products_test.htm
But if i just load the swf i want and u click on the back button it all loads dodgy and looks ugly.

I don't see no back button ...

the back button is if u say click on "flight sims", then "eurofighter typhoon" and then you will see the back button.

What im after is when the main swf file loads, i want the html link not to only open the page with that on, but then to open the eurofighter typhoon information to.
