Can I insert code into my HTML page that tells my SWF to gotoAndPlay a specific frame in a specific Movie Clip?

Thanks!

Try the flash seek bar:

That doesn't look like what I need.

Right now I'm using the code below to go to a specific frame label (client) on the main timeline. The code is put within the object tag in the HTML page.

I need to find out if and how I can target a specific frame within a MovieClip.

Thanks.

So are you looking for an html event to trigger the gotoandstart or do you just want it to happen on load within the object tag?

I have ten HTML pages in the site. For each page I will have the same SWF, however, I want each page (on load) to go to a specific frame within a movie clip in the SWF.

Thanks for the help guys!
