Guys, I need a help to solve this problem…

so, I have a video which I have converted from .flv to .swf by using a converter (not import the .flv into the flash), and I have loaded this .swf video, by using a Loader, into the main file.  
flv --\> swf --\> main file

the problem is that how I can pause the video which is in swf file type? how to pause the loader?

thank in advance for help.
