To avoid the confusion...<br />
<br />
you should paste the above mention code on the first frame of root.....<br />
and remove the code on the first frame of &quot;myChildholder&quot; <br />
<br />
I hope all would be clear...<br />

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
My main timeline has a clip (myChildHolder) that will load an external .swf where I need to be able to stop/start it according to conditions of the parent.<br />
<br />
The first/only frame of myChildholder is:<br />
loadMovie(&quot;myChild.swf&quot;, this);<br />
stop();<br />
<br />
Because I'm loading into 'this' I expect the parent (_root) to be able to control the movie with:<br />
<br />
myChildHolder.stop();<br />
<br />
But it's not. It shouldn't make a difference that the .swf was created using Captivate, should it?
