Control (stop,forward) over Flash

[kai]

Hi
Is it possible to just have buttons that can Stop, Play, Forward in the movie main timeline only which can control the movie clips instance, regardless of unknow nested clip.
Can anyone point me or suggest me please?

what do you mean regardless of unknown children? you can of course perform these effects on any timeline ...

I mean I have a movie clip which full of nested clips by attachmovie() function. Therefore i do not know the name of the clip.
I want to have a control only on the main timeline to stop or play the childest movie clip.
I do not want to insert the control in every single timeline.
If i misunderstood please suggest.

use a for..in. this comes straight from the AS Dictionary:

for (name in myMovieClip) {
	if (typeof (myMovieClip[name]) == "movieclip") {
		trace ("I have a movie clip child named "+name);
	}
}

that will find every child object which is a movie clip.
