can I link from an html page to a frame within a flash movie

can I link from an html page to a frame within a flash movie?

I have a flash page which contains an intro - when I return to that flash
page, I don't want to see the intro again, I want to return to a certain
frame within the flash movie - is this possible?

yup.
using java script you can set a cookie, and send the movie to the
appropriate frame eg:

<script>
function getCookie(name) {// read cookies
var dc = document.cookie;
var prefix = name + "=";
var begin = dc.indexOf("; " + prefix);
if (begin == -1) {
begin = dc.indexOf(prefix);
if (begin != 0) return null;
} else
begin += 2;
var end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", begin);
if (end == -1)
end = dc.length;
return unescape(dc.substring(begin + prefix.length, end));
}

themovie = 'movie.swf';
theframe = 20;
if (getCookie('returnuser') == 'true') {
document.themovie.GotoFrame(theframe);
}
document.cookie = 'returnuser=true';
</script>

i haven't tested this but it should work/nearly work, not sure whether
nn/moz works with flash methods.
