flash exchange extensions : Playback controller for swf files

I am using Flash MX to create a very basic product demo. The final demo will
consist of about 25 swf files, playing one after the other using the LoadMovie
command and will be published as a Windows Projector (.exe) file. I would like
to offer the viewer a playback controller that allows them to stop, pause and
resume the demo. I realize I can create buttons with ActionScripting but I was
wondering if there was a component that included these along with a movie
progress bar for a visual display of how much of the demo remains. I want
something like the Controller option available when a FLA file is pubished as a
QuickTime Movie. I have searched the Flash Exchange for "Playback Controller"
but it did not yield any results. Am I using wrong terminology?

Thanks for any advise or direction you can offer!

The AS and buttons are so simple to make there probably is not a need for a
component, just have the movie playing in a clip called myMovie and for the 3
buttons use the following code.
PLAY
on(release)
{
mMovie.play();
}
PAUSE
on(release)
{
mMovie.stop();
}
STOP
on(release)
{
mMovie.gotoAndStop(1);
}
Hope this helps
