Flash Goto's in Javascript

Hi Folks,

I've been spending a lot of time looking for a way to connect my HTML pages
to their embedded flash files. Ideally, I would like a way to issue
"gotoandX" commands via javascript enabled buttons.

I've looked into named anchors, but I don't like the idea that the user's
back button is then constrained to a history of accessed anchors -- in
other words, I want the operation to be totally transparent to the user.

Currently I have a setup that allows me to initialize playing of a clip,
but I can't directly reference any frames or - ideally - named frame IDs.

How realistic is this? Can it be done, or am I looking in the wrong
direction...?

Any and all help you have is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
David

There are other ways, but these are a good place to start.

Yes, no GOTO. This is a major blunder on part of the creators of these tools. GOTO gives the programmer the absolute control over the program. Yes, no matter what, a GOTO sends the program to where YOU want and takes the power away from the mean spirited CREATORS. Yes, even GOD gave us free will! But the creators of JavaScript have...
