Press keyboard-key, then play randomly 1 of 7 videos.

If you don't mind, I'd like to suggest an alternative using frames to store the different videos.

All you have to do is to:

- Create a container Movie Clip called videos.

- Inside of this container, put each imported FLVPlayback component on each frame, starting from 2 and leaving the first one empty.

- Then add this code to the main timeline:

import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
var videosFrames:Array = getRandomFrames(videos.totalFrames - 1);
var count:uint = 0;
var canChange:Boolean = true;
function keyDownHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void
{
    if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER)
        if (canChange)
            changeVideo();
}
function changeVideo():void
{
    var index:uint = 2 + count % (videos.totalFrames - 1);
    
    canChange = false;    
    
    if (index == 2)
    {
        videosFrames.sort(randomSort);
        count = 0;
    }    
    
    videos.gotoAndStop(videosFrames[count]);
    videos["video" + (videos.currentFrame - 1)].addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    
    count++;
}
function completeHandler(e:fl.video.VideoEvent):void
{
    e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    videos.gotoAndStop(1);
    canChange = true;    
}
function getRandomFrames(total:uint):Array
{
    var array:Array = [];
    
    for (var i:uint = 0; i < total; i++)
        array = i + 2;
    
    return array;
}
function randomSort(a:*, b:*):Number
{
    if (Math.random() < 0.5)
        return -1;
    else
        return 1;
}
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);

I hope it helps.

by video, do you mean a movieclip?

of if you really mean a video, how are your displaying it?  in an flvplayback component, added to a timeline, in
