Hello,  
I am trying to put some video up and am using the mediaDisplay component.  
I have unchecked Automatically play in the component inspector but the video still plays about 15 - 30 frames of the video then stop.  
I have also added the actionscript for turning auto play off  
myDisplay.autoPlay = false;  
myDisplay.setMedia(“[http://www.halk.ca/flv/intro.flv](http://www.halk.ca/flv/intro.flv)”, “FLV”);  
(I have tried putting autoplay before and after setMedia, same result. I have also tried pausing it automatically…  
myDisplay.activePlayControl = “pause”;  
still not working, does anyone know why this is happening and a work around? am I missing something?  
thanks,
