Yes.

See Class SWFLoader in API Documentation http://www.greensock.com/as/docs/tween/

You can use getSWFChild to control the content of loader, your SWF

to play and pause you just need to target the rawContent of the SWFLoader

 

here is a basic example:

 

import com.greensock.*
import com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent;
import com.greensock.loading.SWFLoader;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

//hide buttons until swf has loaded
play_btn.visible = false;
pause_btn.visible = false;


var loadedSWF:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader("part1.swf", {container:this, onComplete:setupButtons});
loadedSWF.load();





function playSWF(e:MouseEvent):void{
	loadedSWF.rawContent.play();
}

function pauseSWF(e:MouseEvent):void{
	loadedSWF.rawContent.stop();
}	

function setupButtons(e:LoaderEvent){
play_btn.visible = true;
pause_btn.visible = true;
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSWF);
pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseSWF);
}	

 

programming a seekbar is quite involved. perhaps you can find some tutorials on building a seekbar for a movie clip that is on the stage and then apply those concepts to controlling the rawContent of your swf. Unfortunately we do not have the time to provide extensive custom code solutions.

 

attached are files for that contain the code above.

Carl, thank you SO much for the above code!! You and Jack are helping me to learn to fish.

 

Happy New Year,
