AS2: Local Connection - Pause and Play Videos

Question

I have two exe's, they are a mock-up of a control system....one is the controler that sends commands through LocalConnection to the other which simply plays video of what would be happening when certain buttons are pushed on the controler. I got it working with this code (with help I got here):
sending_lc = new LocalConnection();
pmvopen1.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoAndStop(3);
trace(this+" clicked");
sending_lc.send("my_lc_as2", "gotoF", 2);
pwvopen1.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoAndStop(6);
trace(this+" clicked");
sending_lc.send("my_lc_as2", "gotoF", 4);
chokeclose4.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoAndStop(25);
trace(this+" clicked");
sending_lc.send("my_lc_as2", "gotoF", 15);
forward1.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoAndStop(3);
trace(this+" clicked");
sending_lc.send("my_lc_as2", "gotoF", 2);
reverse1.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoAndStop(1);
trace(this+" clicked");
sending_lc.send("my_lc_as2", "gotoF", 0);
reset.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoAndStop(1);
trace(this+" clicked");
sending_lc.send("my_lc_as2", "gotoF", 0);
pause1.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.pmvOpen.pause; (parent needs to pause flv movie pmvOpen as well as 2 object movies)
trace(this+" clicked");
sending_lc.send("my_lc_as2", "gotoF", 1); (this need to send a command to pause one flv movie)
What I need to do is add a function to the above code that will pause all flv movies in both the sender and reciever (one flv movie each) and pause all object movies on the sender when the pause1 button is pressed.
The parent needs to pause 1 flv movie and 2 object movies and I need to SEND a command to the other exe to pause one flv movie.
I started the code but, of course, it doesnt work...the button is active as I get a trace...My attempt to start this is in red at the end of the code above. 'pmvOpen' is the name of the flv movie on the parent and I don't know HOW to begin pausing the other movie called 'pmvOpen1' through LocalConnection or to pause the 2 object movies called 'Chart1' and 'Chart2' on the sender.
on(press)
chart1.stop();
on(press)
chart2.stop();
on(press)
pmvOpen.pause();
^^ this is how I had it doing the pause before the requirement to have a second screen. This was simply attached to the pause button...I still need to pause all of the above but also I need to pause a movie through local connection at the same time.
This is my last step before I finish and if I can get help on the pause I think I can do the play button without any additional help. Just not sure where to start with this.
Thanks

Answer 1

I forgot about the recieving end code.
so my controler end code would look like this:
pause1.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.pmvOpen.pause();
this._parent.chart1.stop();
this._parent.chart2.stop();
  trace(this+" clicked");
sending_lc.send("my_lc_as2", "pauseF");
My recieving code as it is right now is:
receiving_lc = new LocalConnection();
receiving_lc.gotoF = function(n:Number){
trace("received "+n);
    gotoAndPlay(n);
receiving_lc.connect("my_lc_as2");
This is recieving for my frame forwarding. So I would need to put a new function in this that calls out the video. To call out the video to be controled would it look something like:
receiving_lc = new LocalConnection();
receiving_lc.gotoF = function(n:Number){
trace("received "+n);
    gotoAndPlay(n);
receiving_lc.pauseF = function(pause){
     pmvOpenl.pause(n);
receiving_lc.connect("my_lc_as2");
This seems to work...I will try to do it with another video on another frame and see what happens. Thanks a bunch man. If this works down the line I think I might have this.
