Ok here is my situation. I have my main file which is built in AS3 and I am loading some older AS2 files. These AS2 files have some video in it and use the FLVPlayback Component.

When I click my button to load the AS2 swf, they load fine and the video plays.

When I hit my back button, I do a simple removeChild on my swfLoader object (Loader).

When I go to open a different AS2 movie with video, the video does not work, however, if I restart the movie and click that AS2 movie first the video plays fine.

Essentially whichever AS2 swf I load first the video works. Any of the SWFs after that, the video doesn’t.

Any ideas?
