[SWFLoader - play/stop loaded swf]

Thank you Carl,

just couldn't figure it out myself. Got a bit lost in all the videos and slides filled with great stuff. The more I pushed, the more confused I got. Thanks again. Take care, kuba

[SWFLoader - play/stop loaded swf]

Hello,

I have a question about accessing loaded swf files by SWFLoader class.

I am loading swf file and want to play/stop its content on certain event managed by certain function, not autoplay.

I have managed to access child clip of loaded swf (see sample code below).

But is there a way to "play" directly the loaded swf file, so I do not have to put all my animations into child clips of loaded swf?

Thanks up front for any suggestions

}
function swfPlay(e:MouseEvent):void
