the component instance name is "video1"
Sorry, I may have misunderstood your meaning, I'm not quite sure what other way there is to play the video... is there a better way?
just leave it. change the code to:
video_mc.visible= false;
video_mc.video1.stop();
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,overF);
video_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,outF);
function overF(e:MouseEvent):void{
video_mc.visible=true;
video_mc.video1.play()
}
function outF(e:MouseEvent):void{
video_mc.visible=false;
video_mc.video1.stop();
video_mc.video1.seek(0);
}
