How can I control a timelinemax which is inside a loaded swf

[opamint]

Hi,

I have a file which has a timeline like this:

var myTimeline:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax();

 

This file is loaded inside a main movie and I have to pause/play the load movie timeline from the main movie.

The swf file is loaded inside a movieClip named slideContainer.

I've tried something like this but doesn't work:

 

slideContainer.myTimeline.pause();

and

slideContainer.myTimeline.play();

 

I have to mention that the loaded swf file is for sure the slideContainer because I've done something like this after the loading of the swf:

 

function loadFinished(event:Event):void {

slideContainer=event.target.content as MovieClip;

addChild(slideContainer);

}

 

 

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you very much!

are you waiting until the swf is fully loaded and added to stage before trying to target myTimeline?

[opamint]

Sure.

I try to control myTimeline using two buttons for play and for pause.

The swf is visible loaded and is visible playing when I try to pause it.

the best thing to do is just zip and upload your 2 flas. make them as simple as possible. I'll look at them.
