Continue Flash movie after FLV plays.

[IGTbob]

I have an index (Frame 1) of different videos that lists various videos one can select. When a title is selected it goes to a certain frame (frame 10) and plays the selected video.

After the video plays I WOULD LIKE to return to the index.

I have all the "play selected video" stuff working, but I am not able to get the movie to continue playing (go back to frame 1) after the FLV is finished.

How it's set-up:
I have an FLV that is linked into a MovieClip using the "Media Display" controller. I have an instance of the MovieClip on my Timeline. On my parent timeline I have a "stop();" on an Action layer in the same frame as the MovieClip instance. In the MovieClip I have a "stop();" action on an Action layer in the same frame as as the MediaDisplay component.

How can I get the main movie to continue after the FLV finishes?

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

put a gotAndStop(_root.index) on the last frame of your movie clip

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

Sorry, should be put a gotoAndStop(_root.index)

That still didn't do it - hmmm.
The MovieClip that has the FLV in it does not play past the first frame - the FLV plays fine, but the MC itself stays on frame 1. In the MC I have a "stop();" action in frame 1 - otherwise the MC plays right past the FLV.

Bob,

What version of flash are you using? I only have Flash MX. If you're using MX 2004, can you save the file so it's compatible with Flash MX? Otherwise, there's nothing I can do to help.

Sorry...

When I Save As MX it throws away my "Display Component"
Bummer - Thanks anyway!
