Hi All,

In Director 8 (Win), we have a "eye-candy type" flash element playing on
stage. This element was created in Flash 5, but saved as a Flash 4 swf file.
The flash element loops while the user navigates through the projector. At
one point, there is a fairly large (screen area & file size) QuickTime
movie. I would like to pause the flash sprite while the QT sprite is on
stage & then play the movie when the user navigates somewhere without a QT
sprite.

I have been experimenting with the sprite(x).stop() and sprite(x).play()
commands in the message window. Whatever I issue, the flash sprite continues
to play and loop -- even though the sprite(x).playing says that is it is
stopped.

(message window example)
put sprite(22).member.type
-- #flash
put sprite(22).playing
-- 1
sprite(22).stop()
put sprite(22).playing
-- 0
(sprite on stage is still playing)
sprite(22).play()
put sprite(22).playing
-- 1

Am I missing something? I don't have much experience with flash. Is the
play() stop() command the way to do this? I have check the macromedia web
site, but couldn't find anything helpful. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks,
Nick Youmans
