How to get the next button to go to the next frame in root flash file

Question

I have a fla that loads an external .swf that was created
using Captivate. In the Captivate movie, there is a next button. I
need that button to go to the next frame within the Flash movie
that called it. Is there javascript (or something else) that can be
used to do this?

The easiest solution would be to create your Next button in Flash and code it with the knowledge that it needs to execute code in a parent FLA.

You could cheat and just preface every function call with "_root." to make sure you're executing it in the parent FLA.

Otherwise, you'll need to puzzle out the parent layer hierarchy of the Captivate file and add one or more stacked "_parent." prefixes to all your function calls.
