Butterflys and actionscript

Hello. I'm creating several differnt animations that will be used live during a drama production. (on stage) Basically the script calls for 7 butterflys to fly in and land on a tree. (i've got that. ) They then sit on the tree and as the narrator reads off names of seven victoms of the nazi death camps, they one by one fly away. This happens several times through out the play. One scene has 5 butterflys and one has 12.

Anyway, my question to you is what would be the best way to acomplish this? Backstage there will be a laptop connected to a projector that is aimed at the screen. (rear projection)

Bascially i need to have the butterfly's fly in and land on the tree and then have flash stop the animation. Then as the narorator reads a name, one of my tech guys can push something on the computer and have one of the butterfly fly away, then stop the animation again. And so on untill there are no butterfly's left.

My problem is figureing out how to do this. Basically what i'm doing now is using the flash player in full screen mode playing the animation. I can stop and start the animation by using ctl+enter. But i'm worried that one of my tech guys might screw up and paus it when he isnt supposed to.

I'd appriciate any advice you can give.

-Mr.K
