hi i was wondering is there a way to have a place holder where the video should play when you click the button in flash and it will load my external mpegs? i read and looked at the tutorials but i cant figure it out, i dont want to loose that much quality for the movies. thats why im trying to keep it in mpeg. is asf or flv better quality. if flv than i guess i can do that and use an xml loader? please help, im going crazy!  
i looked at these tutes. the site im tryiing to get this to work on is [www.hecticfilms.com](http://www.hecticfilms.com) you can see that i want a monitor to pop out and start playing my movies like the others, but with about ten video links to my others that will play in the same window thanks Jason
