Not able to stop movie...

Question

I have a movie created in Captivate, and exported to Flash 8,
within the Flash 8 movie I added custom control buttons. But the
stop() command is not working, the movie continues playing even
though I have tried and confirmed various targetPaths, and my path
is correct. _level0.stop(); Any ideas why?

Ok, I got it to work, WOOHOO!!
These are the instructions for pausing and play Captivate 3
SWFs (which uses its own "skin" preloader and playbar) through your
own FLA.
First here are the command controls for externally
manipulating Captivate SWFs:
rdcmndPrevious
set to 1 to go previous slide
rdcmndNextSlide
set to 1 to go to next slide
rdcmndPause
set to 1 to pause the project
rdcmndResume
set to 1 to resume showing a paused project
rdcmndRewindAndStop
set to 1 to rewind and stop the project
rdcmndRewindAndPlay
rset to 1 to rewind and play the project
rdcmndGotoFrame|
go to a specific frame
1. Create a Movie to be a loader for the Captivate SWF and
give it an instance name (CapLoader for this example)
2. Add AS to load the Captivate Skin SWF:
_root.CapLoader.loadMovie("name and directory of the Cap SWF
Skin file);
3. Create a button to control the Captivate SWF
4. To pause the Cap SWF, give the button you created the
following AS:
on(release){
_root.CapLoader.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1;
5. To Play the Cap SWF, give the button a separate state with
the following AS:
on(release){
_root.CapLoader.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndResume = 1;
That's it!
Note 2 things:
1. Make sure the rdcmndResume and rdcmndPause have the "R"
and the "P" as capital letters.
2: Don't forget the "cpSkinLoader_mc" in the target path when
passing the commands to the instance that contains the LoadMovie
for the Captivate SWF.
YAY!
