Thanks for the replies. I'll be looking into both.
kind of been playing around with this as well:
str = _url;
slash = str.lastIndexOf("/");
str = str.substring(slash+1, str.length);
dot = str.lastIndexOf(".");
filename = str.substring(0, dot);
directoryLocation = _url.split(filename + ".swf").join("");
and setting it to frame 1.
