Hi,

I did a presentation using the Screens system.
I have several videos [embedded and externaly linked (flv)] each one in a different slide.

I seted-up the playHidden tag to false but it does not work!
The videos (and the relative soundtracks) still play after changing slide.

Anyone knows why, or how to fix this?

Thx a lot

If the flv is directly placed on the timeline of the screen, then playHidden should work.
However, if you have nested the flv in a separate movie clip, or are using a movie
controller instance to control it (e.g. the flv is linked), playHidden will have no
effect. playHidden only stops the timeline of a slide...it doesn't stop() the timelines
of nested movie clips.

If you don't want to embed the .flv directly on the screen's timeline, you can "manually"
call stop on your MC in the screen's on(hide) handler, and call play() in the screen's
on(reveal) handler.
