I have an swf file embedded into my webpage and I want to control it. I know that the controls are not available for an swf file, so I'm controlling it using JavaScript. I've managed get a Play and Pause button, but I really need to Stop button which will Stop the movie and rewind it to the beginning.

    <a style="color: #ffffff;" href="javascript:document.movie.Play()">►</a> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <a style="color: #ffffff;" href="javascript:document.movie.StopPlay()">║</a>

This is code I'm using so far. I'm using ASCII codes to get the Play and Pause symbol and I can easily get a stop one but is there a way I can Stop and reset the movie?

From what I understand, this works, if the Flash movie has hooks for Javascript:

I've found a solution. You can set the file to go to a specific frame so I set it to go back to frame one. This also stops it so it works like a stop button. It means if it combined we a play command, it could also be used as a reset button.javascript:document.movie.GotoFrame(1)
