I am creating a cd presentation using flash mx 2004.
I have set up a stage.swf that includes and intro animation and a drop down with the different sections of the presentation as well as a pause and play button. (external swfs)
When the presentation begins, scene1.swf is loaded which includes animation and audio. At the end of scene1.swf I have an action that calls the next scene, scene2.swf, so on and so on, 9 scenes in total.
Using the drop down I am giving the user the ability to go to a specific section of the presentation, no problem. The problem that I am having is in being able to pause and play the animations. As I mentioned the pause and play buttons are located on the stage.swf and not with in the scene swfs because It would be insane to recreate the buttons for every scene.
So basically is there a way to control the animation and audio in external swfs?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
