this should be easy:  
place a flv on the stage, load said video and play. Simple, it plays different movies quickly, using a predefined skin, nothing fancy. Works every time.

HOWEVER: the thing jumps around, left and right and top and bottom whenever I load a different sized video. I assume it has something to do with the “align” parameter in the components inspector, but no matter what I set it to it’s behavior is exactly the same, as if it is growing/shrinking from some center point I have no access to. If I trace the x/y of the MC the player is being loaded into it checks out fine. If I trace the x/y/registrationX/registrationY/registrationHeight/registrationWidth of the player, the traces return the same numbers no matter what the size of the flv I load, but it totally moves around the stage.

This is maddening, any clues on how to control this erratic behavior??

you can see it in action here:

super thanks!
