Pausing Flash Movie

[Andy Petroski]

How can I pause a Flash movie in Authorware? I want it to pause at the
beginning of the animation and then play it later in an event sequence.
I have the "paused" option selected in the movie properties, but it
still plays. I've also tried using the "MediaPaused(IconID@IconTile)",
but that didn't work either.

I'm using Flash 4 in Aware 5.1.

Thanks for any help.

Andy,

I havent tried it yet but I would think you would need to send a sprite
propertry instead of using standard media control methods. I do know that
Authorware and Flash can talk back a forth so you may want to explore how to
send variable values. Sorry I cant give you exact details.

Let us all know how it goes.

You need to use the callSprite function:
callSprite(@"FlashIcon", #Stop)

I have an example at
http://www.lucidum.com/aware/Examples/FlashMovieControls.htm on How to set
up Flash Movie Control Buttons using the Flash Asset. Buttons include First
Frame, Frame Left, Play, Pause, Stop, Frame Right and Last Frame. This
example is illustrated using Flash 4, so you'll need the Flash 4 player.

Good Luck
