stoping rewind

[twinny]

could you please tell me how to stop a swf file from playing after its started playing. what i have done is i have got a video of the band i play in and converted it to swf. now i can automatically load it and understand layers. i know how to unload it. i want to know how users can just stop the file by creating a button and start where it has just stopped. and also rewind and fast forward. sorry if this seems to go on.

I will presume you are using Flash MX then. Try this out:

hi thanks for the control player. however my swf files are being loaded using the load movie script. and the swf files are loading from elswhere if you know what i mean. will the controller work with loadmovie swf files? or am i better off importing the swf's onto the timeline. yours with many thanks

This is not a PnP Flash file... it is an example of how you can do it. It will need to be adapted to your specific project. I used this with loadMovie and it worked fine. You could keep the control on one level and target the loaded movie by _level3 or whatever.

thanks for your reply. i still have to work it out. but sure i will get there. just not sure how to edit it. i have tried but the movie doesnt start and the buttons arnt visable either. unless i goto control and start the movie from there. sorry to sound as though i dont know what planet im on.
thanks

thanks for your advice but im finding it really hard to edit. i want to tell the play button to load movie.? and still get the other buttons to rewind and so on. but all im getting is when i test movie is. a message saying loading movie 100%. i then have to go into control and tick play

My preloader might not be working - you may have to use one of your own.

What happens once you click play?
