Media Playback Component

[rob88wells]

Hey guys,

I'm pretty new to using flash components and have a slight problem I would be extremely grateful to anyone and everyone for any help.

I'm using MX Pro 2004

This is my problem:

I have my media component, but it's content is loaded in by using the following script on a button:

on(release)
{
	_root.VideoPlayer.totalTime = 72;
	_root.VideoPlayer.contentPath = "clip3.flv";
}

The code highlighted red, as you no doubt will have guessed, updates the component every time this script is executed, with a new flv.

This all works ace. You click a new button and the component begins playing the new movie. But. If you let a movie play through to the end, it stops, then you click on another button it loads the new movie but does not automatically play. Here lies my problem.

I have spent a good deal of time searching the web and this forum. Either I am not using the correct search terms or this question hasn't been a recurrant one. Either way I apologise if this has been answered already.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
-Rob

Sorry guys, I realised what the problem was.

I forgot to add _root.VideoPlayer.play(); to the script.

Thanks anyway,
