What code are you using to embed the flv? Usually you’d have a start function and of course I’d would put it in there?

I didn’t write any code for it. I just dropped the movie in the timeline.

I managed to fix an action when I pause the FLV. My problem is I cant find a way to make an action happen when you push the Play-button of the FLVPlayback.  
Does someone know how to do this?  
Thanks

I doubt you can hack easily into using the default player function for you own means, you’ll have to make your own
