Media Component Question

[Antibody]

Hi all,

I'm working on a project which uses the LocalConnection object to control multiple flash pieces across a page. Specifically there can be an mp3 player (for the website), a single track player (for an audio page), and there can possibly be a media player component for showing video(depending on which page the user is viewing).

Everything is working so far, so good. One problemo that I am facing, however, is that if I hit play on any of the mp3 players and a video is playing, it will pause the video player. That is what I want. The issue is that I don't know how to make the button in the mediaControl component switch back to the play button. As it stands right now it will stay as a pause button. Meaning that I have to hit it twice to get video playing again. This is not what I want.

Does anyone know the proper method or property I need to use to switch the media components button back to the "play" state? I have tried

Media.activePlayControl

but that seems to only work as an "on load" type functionality. In fact I use it successfully in this regard. There just doesn't seem to be a method to actionscript that button back into a "play" state.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer me.

Moving to the front page in case someone new can see it today.
