Loading external SWFs

[Chewie29]

Ok I feel like an idiot for asking this. I have seen it asked a dozen other times but I still cannot figure this out. Maybe some of you can help the functionally challenged like myself.

I have my main movie which imports a external swf into a MC using loadMovie. It plays as soon as it loads. On the main movie, I have a MC with "buttons" where I want to control the external movie file. Basically I want it to stop or play on release.

How in the world do I do this?

Thanks

The movieclip you load the other SWF into will have an instance name and using the appropriate path ( http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials/beginner/paths/index.shtml ) you will be able to control its timeline ( http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials/beginner/Controlling_Different_TimeLines/index.shtml )
