Advanced AVM1Movie Help

Hi,

I’m building a swf player in AS3 that loads AS2 swfs(ie AVM1Movies).

I’d like to know if it is at all possible to control the playback and access properties of this loaded swf. I need to call stop() and access _currentFrame and _totalFrames. From this:

it doesn’t look like it’s possible.

Fyi, I’m getting my AVM1Movie from my Loader Object like this:

var avm1:AVM1Movie = AVM1Movie(loader.content);

Must I convert my SWFS to AS3 in order to access stop() and the frame information?

Thanks

Alternatively, I believe that you can use the LocalConnection class to communicate (and make method calls, etc.) between the two SWFs.
