Play button to start my flash video

[leeboycymru]

I have created a flash video with a video controller, and the video does not play automatically.

But what I wanted to do was to create a button that displayed itself on the first frame, and then on click it started the video and made itself dissapear.

I know how to make it dissapear on click that isnt the problem really, but how to get the video to start and all is my main problem.

Cheers

FLVPlayback.play()
...if you're using FLVPlayback Component that is.

Thats great, thank you that worked fine.

I was wondering if you can help me further.

When i click the button i made it plays the video and dissapears using the code below:

on (release) {
VideoScreen.play();
PlayButton._visible=false;
}

and then this piece of code waits until the video ends:

var myListener = new Object();
myListener.complete = function(eventObject) {
PlayButton._visible=true;
};
VideoScreen.addEventListener("complete", myListener);

So what happens now is that when i click the play button on the controls the button doesnt dissapear, and when i click stop so that the video goes back to the start the button doesnt re-appear.

Can you help me out a bit here

Do not use "on(release)", do it from the main timeline:

PlayButton.onRelease = function() {
	VideoScreen.play();
	this._visible = false;
};
var myListener = new Object();
myListener.complete = function(eventObject) {
	PlayButton._visible = true;
};
VideoScreen.addEventListener("complete", myListener);
