I’m pretty noobish when it comes to video in Flash, mainly because I haven’t had any projects that needed it yet. Well, I have one now, and I want the FLV to be embedded in the library of one of my external SWF’s so that it is preloaded along with the rest of the assets. I did this and wasn’t able to call the FLV to play. Is there anything different I have to do when grabbing video from the library? Everything I see online talks about playing external FLV’s.

Thanks,

SR
