Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have quite a few videos on my web pages but they play automatically when i get to the page. and all play at once. Im trying really hard to stop them so this doesn't happen. Ive tried using the behaviors and actions but nothing is working. Could anyone help?

applying the stop() method to a timeline will stop the playhead from playing that timeline (unless there's other code that executes afterwards and restarts the playhead).

Thank you. I figured it out. I had to embed the video into the timeline for the actions to work. usually when I imported them it was the progressive which is an external movie

apply the stop() method to your flvplayback instances after you assign its contentPath. apply the play() method to start an instance.

you can check the video class or the netstream class for another way to stream video in flash.
