Question

Stopping external swf's with no timeline

Hey!

I just released my portfolio at http://www.hyperactive.se/ which consists of a lot of externally loaded swf's (progressive banners). These swf's contains no timeline really, just one keyframe with an imported FLV. I don't have the source files so I need to control these from my Main flash file.

As these external swf's are auto-playing, I would like it to be user initiated instead, so the users click on a button and it plays. But commands like "loader.stop()", "gotoAndPlay" etc. doesn't seem to work obviously. Anyone know a solution for this?

you'll need to know what's inside the loaded swfs or you'll need to probe.

if you need to probe, check these flash forums for code i wrote for someone with a similar problem trying to control an flv playback component and not knowing its name or what timeline it was on.

What do you mean by "you'll need to know what's inside the loaded swfs"? there's not much in there, just a video. Then I guess I maybe have to probe.. is this the post? http://forums.adobe.com/message/2017776
