Action Script 3 - Check for stop commands in other frames

I'm pretty new to action script, and I'm a little stumped on this problem. Basically on frame 1, I want to be able to find all of the frames in the animation that contain a stop command.

For instance, let's say there are stop commands on frame 3, 64, and 100. I want to be able to search through the entire animation for stop commands, and return an array like this: [3, 64, 100]

Is that possible to do? I've tried searching a little but haven't been able to come up with anything.

I guess your best bet is to save the file containing the animation as an xfl file that you can work with programmatically

As far as I remember, .fla files from CS5 onwards are just zip'ed .xfl files under the hood or something like that.

The point is that you get some text file based on XML that you can now search for whatever you want, including stop(). You can do this in pretty much any language you want as most languages are able conveniently parse and analyse XML files.
