Hi.

I want to create a page with an flv movie but I don’t want it to start when the page loads… I want the user to click the play button if they want to watch.

All the code I’ve seen finishes with:  
ns.play(“my movie.flv”);

can I replace this with playButton.onRelease = function(); {  
ns.play(“my movie.flv”); }
