Hello Folks,

Having heard a lot about it I am just trying out using Flex/Flash on a
web app and have run into a problem.

I am playing a video in Flash and when I click an html button
(GetElapsedTime) on different part of the page, outside of Flash
window, I want to go to Flash playing the video and find out the
elapsed time of video played. So if I have played 3 minutes and 59
seconds of video I want to get that. 

I have browsed around the Flex tutorials and newsgroups, looked in
ActionScript but from what I understand all those actions are for
events going out of Flex - apologies if I am mixing up the terminology
between Flex and Flash here. I can't find a way to connect to the
flash player and get the elapsed time. Perhaps I am not looking at it
the right way.

It sounds like when I click the button GetElapsedTime it has to fire
some JavaScript that should somehow connect to the Flash player and
extract the elapsed time out of it. Any thoughts on how to do that
will be helpful.

TIA,
Sanjay.
