So far it sounds like you're asking if the JavaScript image-swapping

function is capable of loading a corresponding Flash movie in a

different frame. If that's your question, the answer is yes. You can

programmatically write out a new HTML document with JavaScript based on

the state of an image. (Of course, none of that works in IE3 because

IE3 doesn't know anything about the document.images object).

A bunch of different approaches. If you're looking to minimally change

your current site structure, I'd need to see what that is before

suggesting an approach. Do you have the URL?
