Im not sure how you are coding or loading your project...

but I usually size the flv holder (new video)

myFLV.onStatus = function(infoObject:Object) {
	trace(infoObject.code);
	switch (infoObject.code) {
case 'NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound' :
		trace("Could not find video file.");
		time_txt.text = "Could not find video file.";
		clearInterval(time_interval);
		clearInterval(buffer_interval);
		clearInterval(loaded_interval);
case 'NetStream.Buffer.Full' :
		//--- set component to default video height/width ---/
		videoHolder._width = videoHolder.width;
		videoHolder._height = videoHolder.height;
		trace("W: " + videoHolder.width + " + " + "H: " + videoHolder.width);
		break;
	}
};

I use the buffer.full trigger to set my size..you can do it wherever you like.

good luck

Im not sure what you mean by 'wizard'.. but that is the action script that will check the different status' of the .flv and then do a switch statement (a big IF statement really) for the particular status of the .flv

I was using was the flash import video encoder.
Accordingly your suspose to be able to add video to flash easily.

question do I add action script to it after its imported?
stupid question?
I never done this before.

hi...

no problem.. Im probably not the best person to offer advice in this area anyways.. my flash/video experience is severely lacking..

the difference between the two (I believe) is that I am loading the video 'externally' (the .flv sits in the same directory as the .swf does).. so Im not used to importing the video directly the stage like that.

the code I posted above was just a small portion..

you can add/use action script to control the movie.. as well get certain properties of it..like how much is loaded...how much has been played.. cue points, seek..etc..
