Hello,

I am using Flash MX 2004.

I have an embedded video in Layer 1. I create a new Layer 2 and wish to add a button to stop the embedded video.

I change the Instance Name of the embedded video to my\_video. I then add the following ActionScript to the button:

on(click) {  
my\_video.stop();  
}

However when I tested the movie, the button is not working. What is the problem?

Thanks and best regards

Alex
