I don't think you looked at the 3 links here: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/api#SWF_native_methods_and_properties
Specifically, the first one lists "GotoFrame()" and "Play()" functions which should do what you're looking for. Basically, these are native methods exposed on a SWF to javascript, which means you can call them directly from your javascript code. But, this is not a swfobject issue at all, so any further help you need, you'll need to ask in other forums like actionscript.org or kirupa.com. --Kyle -------------------------------------------------- From: "spherop" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2009 10:20 PM To: "SWFObject" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Replaying SWF from JS call > > I have read this ...
