I own a a video site and I am in the process of adding a ad company to use overlay ads on my videos. I am running into a problem with the integration.

When the ad is clicked a video will pop up over the original video. So I have to add a call to pause the player, and then when the ad is dismissed a call to resume the player.

Can anyone offer any guidance?

Bump....Any ideas?

No idea, and not enough information to guess at what you actually need to do.
Maybe you will have to enlighten us to what as2 is. As to what flash8 is, making an educated guess would be reasonably safe.

So the only thing I can suggest, is that you would need javascript to trigger some unknown actionscript events or call some unknown actionscript methods in the Flash file.
