pause and play buttons for external swf?

Is it possible to create pause and play buttons for an external swf in flash?

If you have an external swf that loads into your main movie into a container mc called holderMc (for example) - In other words, you used:

_root.holderMc.loadMovie("myFile.swf");

------ Your pause button.

on(press) {

_root.holderMc.stop();
}

Your play button is the same with _root.holderMc.play();

What do you mean by loading the movie into a container?

I've created an empty movie clip, so as to position my swf's and called loadMovie to load all of my swf's.

thanks man

Sorry, what I did was created a movie clip ("mc")and inserted it into a new layer called "viewer". I then created a new frame each time I called my next movie with LoadMovie (for example loadMovie("1.swf", "mc")from withing the "viewer" layer.

Thanks for you help

Thanks for your help dude. The pause button works. However, I need the pause button to also pause the timeline at the same time. Is this possible?
