hello,  
i have a video in flash that i want to snap to a certain point in time when its done loading. here is my code:

```auto

var cp3Time:Number = .75;
var vid1Listener:Object = new Object();

vid1Listener.ready = function():Void {
    tRef.vid1_mc.vid.seek(cp3Time);
}
    
tRef.vid1_mc.vid.addEventListener("ready", vid1Listener);

```

however, this is not working, as the seek snaps to a certain time in the video, no matter what i set cp3Time to. it just keeps snapping to the same thing as if the thing wasnt working or reading it. i tried just replacing the actual number into the seek method but that didnt work either. any ideas or has anyone else had this problem?

the video is almost 3 seconds long so i’d imagine this would work…
