Hi all,  
Fairly new to Flash.

Here is my question-I have a flv player and I have it linked up to the movie that I would like to play. In addition, the client would like to also have a static image load before the movie loads (like a preloader, but just a static image to place while the movie loads.) Then he would like another different static image to load after the video in the flv player stops.

I am thinking I need to write some actionscript but have no clue how and how to set it up.

Thanks to anyone who can give me guidance on this! I am going it alone and learning flash as best I can through books and such, no classes so I have nobody to front the many questions that I have!
