If I create a flash website. Is there a way to direct someone to a particular "page" of that site. Make sense?

Yes. It's usually known as 'deep linking', and involves passing a variable
into Flash, most commonly through use of the flashVars attribute/param. I
like to use Javascript to write the object/embed tags for the swf, so the
whole thing is pretty dynamic. See here for info on using flashVars:

Alternatively you can appens the variable/value as a query string to your
URL. Either way, once the Flash loads, you can then evaluate the variable to
see which particular 'page' to go to.

Make sense;-?

Flash MX and later supports using frame labels as 'named anchors'. So, if
you got a frame labeled "contact", you can reach it with
www.mysite.com/myflashpage.html#contact, so long as you have the 'Label
Type' option in the properties panel for that frame set to 'anchor' (ever
wonder what that option was all about?). That also lets your visitors browse
with their 'back' and 'forward' buttons.
