AS3: Video keeps creating another instance of itself on entering frame

Hey guys,

I have been looking around but couldn’t find a good tutorial or solution to my problem.

I have a slideshow type application (for my portfolio website). I have 4 “slides”. I wanted to use video, I added it on slide #3, and it plays fine, control buttons seem to be connected, but when I click to go to the next slide, without pausing the video, it still keeps playing…, even though there is no instance of the flv playback on that frame. If I go back to the video slide, a new video starts on the top of the old one…

On exit from the slide I would like the video to stop. And on re-entering the frame the video would just sit there, after clicking play/pause it would resume.

if anyone could, please point me in a right direction or tutorial or solution, I’d be grateful.
thanks.
