At least I thinks its the if statement. I have an FLV Playback Component and three buttons. The buttons change the source of the FLV Playback. It was working fine. When I added an ‘if’ statement to track what video was currently being played I now get an error that goes on and on forever. This is the code I had working before adding the ‘if’ statement.

```auto
my_FLVPlybk.source = "think_eng.flv";
my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(3, "1st_switch");
my_FLVPlybk.width = 640;
my_FLVPlybk.height = 426;

my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener(VideoEvent.READY, ready_listener);
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener(VideoEvent.BUFFERING_STATE_ENTERED, videoStart)
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, videoDone)
function videoStart(eventObject:VideoEvent) 
{
	my_FLVPlybk.visible = true;
	video1Main_mc.rectangle1_mc.x = -8.4;
	video1Main_mc.rectangle1_mc.alpha = 1;
	video1_btn.visible = false;
}
function videoDone(eventObject:VideoEvent)
{
	my_FLVPlybk.visible = false;
	video1Main_mc.rectangle1_mc.x = -161.4;
	video1Main_mc.rectangle1_mc.alpha = 0;
	video1_btn.visible = true;
}
function ready_listener(eventObject:VideoEvent)
{
	my_FLVPlybk.activeVideoPlayerIndex = 1;
    my_FLVPlybk.source = "tech_eng.flv";
    my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(3, "2nd_switch");
    my_FLVPlybk.activeVideoPlayerIndex = 0;
	
	my_FLVPlybk.activeVideoPlayerIndex = 2;
    my_FLVPlybk.source = "people_eng.flv";
    my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(3, "2nd_switch");
    my_FLVPlybk.activeVideoPlayerIndex = 0;
}

```

Then I added this after the ready\_listener.

```auto
if (my_FLVPlybk.source == "think_eng.flv")
	{
		video1Main_mc.rectangle1_mc.x = -8.4;
		video1Main_mc.rectangle1_mc.alpha = 1;
		video1_btn.visible = false;
	}
	
	if (my_FLVPlybk.source == "tech_eng.flv")
	{
		video1Main_mc.rectangle1_mc.x = -161.4;
		video1Main_mc.rectangle1_mc.alpha = 0;
		video1_btn.visible = true;
	}
	
	if (my_FLVPlybk.source == "people_eng.flv")
	{
		video1Main_mc.rectangle1_mc.x = -161.4;
		video1Main_mc.rectangle1_mc.alpha = 0;
		video1_btn.visible = true;
	}

```

Now I get this Error. The never ending one, it just keeps repeating.

Any help is much appreciated. I’m still new to AS3 so I’m not sure if it’s something really simple that I am doing wrong or complicated.

Thanks!
