flash (macromedia): Hi,

Before I pull all my remaining hair out can anyone help me with mpg video import? I have imported a small mpg file and placed it on a screen (slide) within a presentation. I want to create a button that will start the video when the user views that screen and presses the button.

I've messed with creating a button and adding behaviors but I cannot stop the video clip from automatically playing every time I invoke the swf presentation file. How do I stop it from playing until I reach that screen and press "start".

Any help appreciated!

Many thanks
Paul

why not just import video to movie clip, once it is in movie clip you can control
it like any movie clip ....

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

Thanks Urami but that's the problem. I import it to a movie clip but I cannot get a button component to control it. I have "on click" "show video instance" as button behavior. It does not work.

Any ideas?
