hi mike;
a few day ago i had the same problem; i needed to load a swf and interact with
it.
i had to do it in 2 days so couldn't wait for the answers of this mail group
and i solved the
issue by migrating AS2 swf to AS3 using flash player 9 alpha. i dont know if
this is available
for you but if you can; you can fully control the swf and it's
objects,functions etc.
But let me inform that this not sth easy because in as3; support for _root is
removed. in addition
variables like _x , _width etc are changed to x , width ...
By the way; there were some replies from the flexcoders yahooGroup. try
searching for the messages with
subject : talking to Flash SWF's
i wish it helps.

Subject: [flexcoders] Loading and Controlling a Flash Animation within a Flex
Application
I am working on an educational game that essentially asks questions
and plays animations depending on the user's answer.
When the user selects the correct answer they should be shown a random
animation for their character, that has optional closed captioning and
the ability to be repeated if the user's clicks a button in my
application.
I am able to load the SWF animations fine within Image/SWFLoader
components as expected, but I'm having trouble stopping the animation
from looping, knowing when it has ended so i can show the repeat
button, or turning closed captioning on/off.
The closed captioning is inside the SWF files with an instance name of
"closedCaptions" with the hope that I could simply do something like:
swfloaderId. content.root. closedCaptions. _visible = false; from flex to
hide them as necessary. This also gives them the necessary control for
timing the text, etc.
Could someone enlighten me a little better on how to perform this
interaction? Does anyone have an example of this kind of interaction?
It seems like it should be pretty simple, but maybe I am missing
something.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Mike.
