Hi I can’t get this code to control my flv. Even when I comment out the cue point code and try to just control it with buttons. I’m getting a bit frustrated. Can someone please critique my code?

The flv is called: fishing\_intro.flv  
the playback component: myFLVPlayback

I’m trying to have my entire .swf operate around the cue points of the movie - for example I’d like to have tweens start when it reaches a mid point and the .flv to stop, and a new load movie at the end of the .flv when it starts playing again (using a variable to start play). I’d eventually like to add an interactive preloader. I’ve gotten all of the cue points to work, but I just can’t get the actual control of the .flv to work. Am I doing anything wrong?

```auto

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
myFLVPlayback.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play("fishing_intro.flv");

// just for testing
playButton.onRelease = function () {
	ns.pause();
}

var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
	var cuePointName = eventObject.info.name;
	// cue point start
	if (cuePointName == "start") {
		trace("flv begins playing");
		// stop playing
		ns.pause();

	} 
}

```
