Okay, well I already answered part of this question - the part about
how to direct yourself to a specific area of your Flash movie. The
other details you added about the links via Google are a little odd
though. But I'll let you worry about that part and how Google indexes
links etc...
Regardless, as I said before you can easily jump to a keyframe in your
movie by using FlashVars or by using the old method of passing in value
pairs by using the query string directive.
If you want to just link directly to the SWF and jump to a frame then
you'd have the link like this...
http://mydomain.com/myflash.swf?goframe=20 Then on the first keyframe of your Flash timeline you can reference the
variable "goframe" (this can be any variable name you choose) and then
jump to the frame that it specifies.
Like this on frame 1 of your flash timeline:
gotoAndStop(goframe);
In the case above this would be the same as saying gotoAndStop(20);
FlashVars works the same way, but relies on you having your Flash file
embedded in an html file and then you'd have to link to that html file,
passing value pairs to it and then to the FlashVars parameter.
