communicating swf files.

Question

I have two swf files I would like communicate. I have a videoplaylist.swf and a player.swf. I would like to select a video from videoplaylist.swf and have it played in the player.swf. How do I do that? How am I going to dispatch the click event with the video url to the player.swf? from the videoplaylist.swf.

Please help.

You've two choices. You can either use a small amount of Javascript glue code along with ExternalInterface to call from Flash to Javascript and vice-versa, or to use LocalConnection for direct SWF to SWF communication.
