Hide FLV skin until a button is clicked! Possible?

Hello everyone,

I posted this question on the forums over at actionscript.org but am not getting any help. Hopefully someone here will be able to help me out! :ne:

I am wondering if there is a way to hide the FLVPlayback skin until a certain event happens. Let me explain.

I have an instance of the flvplayback component in my movie. I have the player skin set to “autohide” and “autoplay” set to false. Instead of having users click on the play button of the skin to start the movie I have incorporated a larger play button in the middle of the screen. The set back here is that when a user mouses over the movie to click on the larger play button the flvplayback skin appears as well.

I’d like to basically tell the skin “Hey don’t appear on mouseover until AFTER the large play button is pressed.” What code would I need for this in Actionscript 3?

Thank you very much for any ideas,

Mark
