i have a main file that loads up 7 external swfs.

Each of those swfs is progressively streaming flv files.

From that main movie - i would like to pause those flvs…

how would I do this?

here is the code for one of the swf calls :

var swf2:MovieClip;  
var loader2:Loader = new Loader();

var defaultSWF2:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“test.swf”);  
loader2.load(defaultSWF2);  
addChildAt(loader2, 0);  
loader2.x=140;  
loader2.y=100;

THANKS!!
