how to make two animations interact?

[ptitbob]

HI, my html page is composed of two .swf
The first one is a menu and I would like it to command movie clips included in the second one?

Lets say that a click on a button on menu.swf should set a property (set alpha property for example) on the MC called "JOE".


setProperty ("JOE", _alpha, "30"); of course does'nt work as it does not specify the path for the second.swf (let say that it's name is "secondpage").

What is the correct syntax ?

you'd have to use javascript to interact between them. try something like "javascript:document.movie.setProperty('JOE', '_alpha', '30')" where movie is the name of your movie (you did name your movies in the html, right?)
