Flash hotspot scope -- SWF internal function calls

[johnteal]

I've been playing around with Flash PP and now that I'm at the point of trying to scope function inside SWF hotspots, I'm starting to get the feeling you can't --- that you can't have animations (or anything else) in a hotspot SWF independent of FPP. A SWF hotspot, then, would provide no other functionality than a pgn or jpg does. Please tell me I'm wrong and point me to an example of a hotspot SWF with it's own internal animation I can target and control (start-stop), etc. Then show me how to scope to internal hotspot SWF object functions.
Thanks.

Hi johnteal:

I believe you'll need to use a local connection or externalInterface to get the communication you want going. But to see a simple example, go to:

(which also links to the original example in this forum).

Cheers,
