Why on earth won’t my flv play from inside a movieclip;

on frame 2;

container = this.createEmptyMovieClip(“holder\_mc”,5);  
container.attachMovie(“mc\_3”,“movie\_mc”,6);  
stop();

inside mc\_3 is 1 frame with a flv playback component

when you test scene it plays fine- run it from the main timeline and nothing?!
