Im afraid I was a bit unpatient, but thanks for the reply!

I dont really use any coding, I have an FLV component on the stage (drag n drop). Then I use the following string to get it to load an flv movie file which I converted with flash from an avi file.

Code:
player1.contentpath = "intromovie.flv"
The link you provided is exactly what I was looking for! thanks for that!

Now lets see if I can get it to work
