How to externally control timeline in an Edge Animate composition

Question

How do I talk or communicate to an Edge Animate composition via the html page within which it is embedded or via an external js file?

Answer 1

For a the main timeline, it'd be this from the html page or js file:

AdobeEdge.getComposition("EDGE-558482807").getStage().play(12);

For a nested symbol, it'd be this from the html page or js file:

AdobeEdge.getComposition("EDGE-558482807").getStage().getSymbol("elephant").play(25);

You're welcome. :)
