Controlling a .flv from a.swf

Hi I am really crap at actionscript so I would appreciate help with this last bit of code before my project is finished. I have been working in actionscript 2, cause I just don’t get 3.

I have a external .flv movie, that loads as a full screen background movie on the main stage. Using the Netstream class and the instance name of ‘netStream’ I just want to be able to pause/play this movie when the user click on a button. The button is inside a movieclip.

I thought something like this:

on (press) {

netStream.pause(“http://www.website.com/background.flv”);
}

but nothing

Any ideas?
