RE: [flasher] Flash and WMP

[jwoodw - Jeffrey Woodward]

I've done similar things with WMP and Flash.  Put a Play() action in the

first frame of a new "slide" (be sure to label the frame) and a Stop()

action on the last frame.  The Windows Media encoder will let you insert

script commands in the stream.  You'll have a script in your HTML that will

capture the commands and send an appropriate message to the Flash movie.  In

this instance you might have the script, upon capturing commands from the

WMP, tell the Flash movie to go to a particular frame label.


Here's a Macromedia Tech-Note and that might point you in the right

direction:

Also check out the free Windows Media Player SDK for info on capturing

commands in a stream:

Hope that helps!

It looks like the windows media player file is controlling the Flash file

displayed.
