Hello folks,

I am putting together a slide presentation in Flash 8 and I am loading video (FLV format) into a few of the slides. The problem is that as soon as the slide presentation starts, so do the videos (even though the first slide has no video)! I have been able to get the videos to not play right off the top by setting autoplay to false, but then how do I get the video to play once I display the slide that it is on?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Glen
