Yes, this is fairly easy to do.

use this code in the button in your flash movie and it should work:

"javascript:updateParent('newpage.html')"


I've never used it in an swf, but i don't see why it wouldn't work.

I've never done this, but I think someone else already answered it for

ya. Just for future reference, some of my favorite javascript resource

sites are:

http://developer.irt.org/faq.htm

http://javascriptsearch.com/

(the last one is other scripts too)

Maybe these will help you with any other problems you encounter!

Hope I helped,
