reverse flash in a linked movie ?

[kid crackle]

i have a serious problem that i wonder if anyone has the answer for and may be willing to help out. what i need to do is have a script of sorts to work on a linked flash movie. I need a button to tell the movie to play backwards and stop @ a certain points. or any other way of accomplishing this without loading multiple files.

i found a script that worked using a controller movie clip for the reverse button http://www.tmdesign.net/fif/test.htm

however when linked into another flash file the movie clip no longer works

here is where i found the script

Most people here will respond more readily if you post the snippet of code that you are using, copying and pasting from the actionscript panel, rather than expecting them to view a whole bunch of stuff and download a file and perform time-consuming analysis of an entire movie.

Just an idea, try not to have absolute paths where possible, as this might be conflicting with your other flash movie, that you have embedded this file into.

_root.control.gotoAndStop(1); 
rather 
this.control.gotoAndStop(1);

Barn : i guess that woulda made more sense, I'll remember that in the future, thanx for the heads up +)
