Quick DW Timeline question

Question

Please help! I'm trying to jump to a specific frame in a
timeline in dreamweaver, conditionally, based on a value passed in
the url. I know this should be simple enough, but I'm a little at a
loss at how to modify the MM timeline javascript that executes when
the page loads.
I added a "go to frame" instruction on frame 1, thinking I
can easily modify it and specify which frame to go to based on a
value in the querystring.
Within my MM timeline code, I found the part that specifies
which frame to go to on frame1:
document.MM_Time[0][6].frame = 1;
document.MM_Time[0][6].value =
"MM_timelineGoto('Timeline1','2')";
I just need to know how to insert an "if, then, esle"
condition in the second line based on a value in my url query
string. For example:
document.MM_Time[0][6].value = "MM_timelineGoto('Timeline1',
if request.querystring('jump")=true then '65' else '2')";
Can anyone help me with the correct syntax to use for this?
Much appreciated.

The GotoFrame Timeline Behavior is not working for you?
