How to Stop this Movie ?? - HTML Forums

Mel Smith · 08-31-2009, 01:15 PM

Hi:

Below is a page that I use to display a short .swf movie clip on my web site.

It displays properly, but now I wish to outline it and stop/start it with (I suppose) Javascript.

Can anyone help me with the methods to do this please.

(right now when it runs, it repeats over and over. Would like to be able to stop and start it with proper Flash controls.)

Thank you.
