**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 35: The property being referenced does not have the static attribute.  
netStream.seek(NetStream.time -= 5);

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

**what does this mean? “the static attribute” ???**

this is where this erroneous code resides.

\_root.stop();  
// create a NetConnection object  
var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();  
// create a local streaming connction  
netConn.connect(null);  
//create NetStream object and define an onStatus() function  
var netStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);  
};

//button press function

movieButton. onPress = function(){  
playMovie();};  
function playMovie() {  
my\_video.attachVideo(netStream);  
netStream.play(“LB\_broinlaw\_FLV.flv”);}  
playMovie();

pause.onPress = function(){  
pauseMovie();};  
function pauseMovie() {  
netStream.pause();}  
pauseMovie();

rwnd\_btn.onPress = function(){  
rewindMovie();};  
function rewindMovie() {  
netStream.seek(netStream.time - 5);  
}  
rewindMovie();

stopbtn.onRelease = function() {  
netStream.close();}

* * *

movieButton works, pause button works, and stop works. however, rwnd\_btn does not.

stop stops the action but does not visually clear the stage.

**but** when i use a stop button on this [color=red]other .fla[/color] — the stop button doesnt work.  
stopButton.onPress = function(){  
\_root.movieHolder\_mc.videoobject.netStream.close();}

the FLV just keeps playing

and i have to include the full path to videoobject to call the FLVs with their appropriate buttons.

i have tried this and it doesnt work either.  
stopButton.onPress = function(){  
netStream.close();}

please help if you can. i think this is just a scripting issue.
