Ok I have an flv that I am calling with:

myPlayer.play(“myvideo.flv”);

and then I have a button that does this:

myPlayer.stop();

Which seems to work fine, ie. it stops the video as if it’s paused.

Question is:

I can’t get the darned thing to play again. myPlayer.play(); doesn’t appear to work. I also tried myPlayer.start();

This is using as3.

Any advice?

- solved \*

Mods you are welcome to delete this thread but for anyone else :

Once you have called an flv and start playing it - you have to check to see if it’s been stopped (I just used a var and set it to true if the flv was in progress) and just use myPlayer.play(); to continue playing it.
