    Control external SWF?

    Is it possible to control an external SWF file with buttons on the main clip?

    I have an external SWF loading into the stage, but I wanted to control "play" "stop" and "goto" with buttons outside that SWF.

    This is part of where you control the movie.

    myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event. COMPLETE, cHandler);
    function cHandler(e:Event):void
    {
    var mc:MovieClip = e.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
    mc.gotoAndPlay("whatever");// place this in a button function
    }
    myLoader.load(myRequest);

    I've found another way to do it.

    var externalSwf:MovieClip;

    externalSwf = MovieClip(myLoader.content);

    Then control the externalSwf with commands like externalSwf.play();

    But thanks any way. You've been very helpful.
