I’m using cue points to trigger animated movie clips over the top of an .flv video file.

Problem is, by the time the cue point triggers the \_mc, the movieclip has finished it’s animation and shows the end frame of the animation only.

I need the movie clip to only start to play from start to end once it’s triggered by the cue point.

all help very much appreciated.
