Correct answer Joseph Labrecque

When you define the video object, simply add an event listener like:

myVideo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toggleVideoPlayback);

private function toggleVideoPlayback(e:MouseEvent):void {

//if playing, pause

//if paused, play

}

Just add an event listener to the video display object itself. Are you building your own playback or using something prepackaged?

Thanks...In case I had used the pre packaged flv player would I had to write the same code ?
