I have created a presentation that synchs with video using slides. I have a media display on the parent slide that loads a video.flv. The media display has a controller associated with it to control the flv. (Associate Controller -\> target= this.parent.controller).

!Here is the problem!

I have a button on the same parent screen that opens up a website when released. I want to make that same button pause the video.flv (that is housed in the media display and being controlled by the media controller). How can I make that happen?

Thanks.
