Hi,

AFAIK, you can not control an ActionScript 2 movie from ActionScript 3
movie. The possible ways are:-

1) Use LocalConnection
2) Use ExternalInterface (not recommended at all).

#1 has been used by many folks (Yahoo! Maps and many others) and there are
couple of projects around that approach. Sorry, I don't remember project
names, please search for it.

If you search, you would get many links.

There are a few, that might get you started:-

You can also look at how Yahoo! Maps communication Kit is working:-

  Hi,
I see I can access content properties with target.content ...

swfContent = e.target.content;
swfContent.gotoAndStop(2);
totalFrames_txt.text = String(swfContent.totalFrames);
bytesTotal_txt.text = String(swfContent.loaderInfo.bytesTotal);
frameRate_txt.text = String(swfContent.loaderInfo.frameRate);

Is it possible to control flash playing ? To know when it ends ? And
others... Where can I get more information about swfContent
properties and methods ? This is Flash documentation, I guess...

Thanks for help
