Sending an exact variable command between two flash swfs

[Sang Hee]

Hi,
I have two flash clips in an html file and I need them to communicate.

One is a player window and the other is a menu.

Now, I managed to find a code on the net that works for sending a text variable over a local connection. It looks like this:

on(rollOver)
{
        my_lc= new LocalConnection();
        my_lc.send("_myLocalConnection","recievedValue","Home")
}

And the receiver is like:

myReceiving_lc = new LocalConnection() 
myReceiving_lc.connect("_myLocalConnection") 
myReceiving_lc.recievedValue = function(menuName) 
{
        myText=menuName
        trace(menuName)
}

How do I have to modify this AS so it would be able to receive an exact command? For example, a button in the menu would send a GotoFrame(3) so the player would jump onto it's corresponding frame. Another button would send a GotoFrame(4), etc.

I've been thinking that I'd use the code like this:

on(release)
{
        my_lc= new LocalConnection();
        my_lc.send("_myLocalConnection","recievedValue","GotoFrame(3)")
}

But then how do I receive and excute that command in the player?
I've started with

myReceiving_lc = new LocalConnection() 
myReceiving_lc.connect("_myLocalConnection") 
myReceiving_lc.recievedValue = function(-received comand-) 
{
- function execution -
}

I'm not exactly sure how to finish this receiving code or if I should re-state it. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I don't have an answer for that problem.
But why not put the menu and the player in the same .swf file and skip the hassel?

I agree that at least importing both swfs to a single container swf would eliminate the hassle.

As for the coding portion of how to handle the commands I would use a switch statement.
