FLASH AS3 - How to stop an external swf file

Question

I have this homepage, http://www.friedmanllp.com/home3.php , and two separate .swf files. I want the top .swf, the skip bar, to stop the bottom video. Is there anyway to do this?

Note I have no way to edit the original video. I wouldn't mind using a javascript solution but would rather target it with AS3 if possible.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Best way would be to use ExternalInterfaces to call your swf from outside (fe with javascript) but i guess that's what you meant with "no way to edit the original video".

what about a workaround like: 1 click the stop button and call a js function which 2 removes the video.swf from your page and 3 adds it again

best, kris
