Controlling Captivate variable values with AS2 Flash animation

Question

I created a couple of simple Pause/Resume Flash AS2 buttons to manipulate the Captivate playback using the following script:
on (release) {
_parent._parent.rdcmndResume = 1;
on (release) {
_parent._parent.rdcmndPause = 1;
The buttons work as intended if their "Display for:" values are set to "Rest of project".  The buttons seem to have no effect on the Captivate playback if "Display for:" is set to any thing else.
The problem is that I hoped to only show the buttons when I want the user to pause or resume the Captivate timeline.  However, for some reason which I do not understand, they do not work when their "Display for:" value is set to "specific time".
Any ideas why the buttons behave the way they do or ideas on how to make them do what I wish they would do?

Hi Pra MMartin,
When 'Display for:' is selected as rest of project/ duration of animation, the swf loader will be placed on the timeline of the Captivate swf.
When 'Display for:' is selected as specific time/ rest of slide, the swf loader will be placed inside the slide (slide is placed on the timeline of Captivate swf).
So try this when 'Display for:' is specific time/rest of slide:
on (release) {
_parent._parent._parent.rdcmndResume = 1;
on (release) {
_parent._parent._parent.rdcmndPause = 1;
Hope this helps.
