Need help with movie controls

[Ebreezesoccer]

I am trying to import a movie i recorded into flash which i know how to do, but i want the movie to not play until i hit the play button which i cant figure out. I also want to have a pretty small file size which i cant figure out as well. If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.

Thank You

Hi,

Try using "myDisplay.autoPlay = false;" myDisplay being the instance name of your media player.

The best way to keep file size down is to reduce the quality of the flv files and have them loaded via actonscript rather than having them as part of the swf. this will start to stream the flv as and when it loads.

Hope that helps

how do you get the movie to load via actionscript rather that having it as part of the swf. What is the actionscript for that?
