Open new page at end of SWF - problem

Movie stop button doesn't stop swf going to url

[JayCee]

Flash newbie here, with 2 questions.

1.
In order to make playback control buttons for an existing swf animation, i built a new swf and used the original swf animation as a MC component inside it.

This main swf is in a web page (using "swfObject.js") and on completion, must jumpt to another page where another swf animation auto starts.

My 'Stop' 'Rewind' and 'Play' buttons now work fine. But with the movie clip stopped, the main animation must still be running, because it gets to the URL link action and jumps to the URL, even if the movie clip is stopped.

How can i stop (or pause) both the root and the movie clip, so users are not taken to the new page while they have the animation stopped?

2.
The animation on this 2nd web page is a sort of slide show with an MP3 voice narration track. As i understand it, there is no way to stream this swf and its component mp3 and still stop the mp3 whenever the movie clip stops - to preserve the synchronization betweem narration and movie clip changing images.

Is that correct? Any ideas? We have to use the swf 'simple streaming method' (whatever that's called. Not a streaming server) and we can't wait for this long narration to fully download before the swf can start.

Thanks!

It works now. Was a combination of newbiesque mistakes in the logic of using one .swf inside another and in finding the right methods and functions and applying them in the right places.

Surprises me that Flash 8 makes interfacing to video (.flv) for the web so easy and interfacing to .swf so difficult.

Little did i imagine when i started this particular web development project that i would be required to write my own Flash player user interface, to say nothing of having to use that excellent "SwfObject.js" script for .swf web page embedding.
