Hi All,

I’d like to thank you in advance for fielding this question.

Is it possible to load an external SWF and control is with play/pause buttons, seekbar, and volume bar?

Basically it would be something like this:  
controller.swf - this would load the external swf file and control it  
movie.swf - this is the actual content that I’d like to control

I have spent several hours trying to find the answer to this question and have not had any luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Paxton
