Hi John,


let me explain it in other words (sorry for my bad english)!


The plan is, to create two browser windows from a default.html. The content

of both of them are different flash films and they should control each

other. So, in the first window I have the main film, wich needs control and

in the other window are the next side, previous side, menu and  next chapter

buttons.


The main film is logically splitted in chapter and it displays an intro and

then a main menu. From that point, the user can start running a chapter and

display it side by side up to the end of the chapter using the navigation

film. The navigation film displays the buttons: next side, previous side,

menu and next chapter.


If the user are on the first or of the last side of a chapter, I have to

disable the buttos for the previous side or for the next side. Therefor I

use a FSCommand within the main film, that controls the buttons in the

navigation film. This works fine.


If the user hits the next side button, I use the Play() method on the main

film. This works fine too. In the other case, if the user hits the previous

button, I use the GotoFrame() Method (works fine) but after that, I have to

use the Play() Method to start the film from that frame, and thats it, what

won't work. This error encounters only on Apple Mac using Netscape 4.5. I

seems like leaving the Javascipt directly behind the GotoFrame() Method (an

alert() command behind the GotoFrame() won't work too). On a PC all works

fine.


Hoping my explanation is better now...


Lars
