Can you make a flash movie go to the correct frame using a link on a simple html-page?

So, say there is an html-page that contains a flash movie, then there should be some links, one saying it has to start playing from frame 1, another that plays the same movie, but starting from frame 50, and so on. Is that even possible?
It's for an architectural company, and they're doing the flash, and I'm doing the html, but if there's something they should do, I can tell them, only, I don't know anything about flash.
The movie is a 3D-visualisation of a building and on a number of important frames something changes (well a lot changes, they're putting a lot of work in that movie). Now they can't really break it down, because that would mean that they have to make a different movie for every possible transition (it's a building with different floors, and when you click on a floor, it rises in the sky, and all the floors below it drop to the floor, all the floors above it drop even higher. But if, say, you're on floor three and you want to go to flour 6, only two floors should drop, and not all of them drop and 6 of them rise again).
But if it's impossible I can just tell them, I only need to know for sure, otherwise I'll be researching pointlessly for hours...
When I said that the floors "drop even higher", obviously I ment "rise even higher".
Thanks, that's probably the way to go. I'll let them know :)
 
no, you would need to make it in the actual flash. or... you can brake the flash down in segments, and put different segments on different html pages.

if you have some more detail i may be able to help you out some how.

EDIT:

tell them. you want a small 50% transparent tab at the top right of the flash, and when you press that tab... it makes a tool bar lower down. they can add all ''next/previous/jumptoframe'' function on the bar.

like this, you can do all the things within the flash, and you can also hide the toolbar off the flash stage so you can see the full animation.

it is technically possible to brake the flash down in parts and then link it up in html, but it will be a lot better if you just tell them to add it.
