When you drag and drop a FLV component on the stage and you are giving it an instance name. Does the instance name need to fit a format? Like having \_mc or \_btn as in the case of a MovieClip or Button?

So if my FLvplack has a instance name movie  
To target the movie to stop, when a Menu page button is clicked  
I would include the line of AS3 code  
movie.stop();

I’m trying to troubleshoot a video that keeps playing in the background after the webpage (swf) that it is on has been left.  
Thanks
