pausing a video on the first frame?

[daleth]

Greets Kirupians! I got a question here that I thought would have been easy, but I haven't figured it out yet.

I just want to load an .flv and have it pause on the first frame. I tried calling netstream.play() and then pausing it when NetStream.Play.Start is received from NetStatusEvent... which pauses the stream before the video image is actually displayed for some reason. Hm.. is there a better way? I'm calling a setTimeout right now which is kind of a retarded hack. Let me know what I'm missing!

set it to seek to a really minimal amount, like 0.1

then pause it
