Hello guys,  
I’m in the middle of a AS3 project and I’m stuck.  
In my class I’m trying to control the render speed of imported swf file.  
I would like to make this file play single frame and then decide when to go to the next one.  
Can it be done without changing the external file?

I could use it to export image sequence from my scripted animation.  
thanks in advance!
