Hi guys,

I have 4 videos (external playback flv) that can be play pressing 4 buttons. I noticed that when I decided to jump to another video the first video will still continue to load anyway. What can I write to tell the first video or even the 3 other videos to stop loading when I click to see 1 in particular. I found a code that I thought was working but it doesn’t… here it is;

btn\_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn1);

function btn1(event){

if ((root as MovieClip).vids.vid2) {  
(root as MovieClip).vids.vid2.stop();  
}  
if ((root as MovieClip).vids.vid3) {  
(root as MovieClip).vids.vid3.stop();  
}  
if ((root as MovieClip).vids.vid4) {  
(root as MovieClip).vids.vid4.stop();  
}  
(root as MovieClip).vids.gotoAndPlay(1);  
}

Thanks in advance for the help
