Does anybody know how to clear an .flv playback component?  
I have been using actionscript to call in .flvs and now i have to make a replay button.  
If the video is already playing however it won’t restart. So I want to clear the playback component, however the fallowing scripts don’t work properly

\_root.playback.unloadMovie() \>\> unloads playback component completly  
\_root.playback.clear() \>\> does nothing  
\_root.playback.removeMovieClip() \>\> does nothing  
\_root.playback.gotoAndPlay(1) \>\> does nothing  
\_root.playback.start() \>\> nothing

Any .flv masters out there?  
Please help…
