Component button linkage for nested FLVPlayback video

I have a FLVPlayback component movie inside a movie clip so I can zoom it. That works fine.

I have placed  the component play and pause button on top level to control the video.

   They work fine with the proper dot reference.

What does not work is the normal up, over and off aspects of the buttons; they look like are "on" all the time

   If these buttons are on the same level as the video, they display as expected; with nested video, they do not.

Note: the buttons work, just do not display proper. Here is what I have tried...

  • Placed inside the movie clip - they zoom with the video
  • Adjusted the actionscript for the button linkage to directly refer to movie clip instead of "this"
    They control correctly, but still not display proper
  • Used MovieClip(parent), (root) and various iterations of same
    Some cases the buttons control correctly, sometimes they do not, but still not display proper
  • I have many more videos not being zoomed
    I am using these components for them and want this video's controls to look the same as all the rest
  • IOS output, so no code inside the FLV
  • Videos are inside a media folder, properly referenced, included with ipa package, so all play on a iPad
  • Custom code a look alike is a possibility, but really hope...
    I am just missing how to link display aspects of the component buttons to a nested video

Thoughts, help, ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks much, Jon
