Re: firefox problem

Hiya,

What I meant was: if you are loading external files into a movie then you would normally use something like this:
Code: Select all
loadMovie("content/your_content.swf","movie_you_are_loading_content_into");
However, if you are using
Code: Select all
loadMovie("content\your_content.swf","movie_you_are_loading_content_into");
Then this will not work in FFox and some versions of Opera.

Other ideas:
1) Is the flv on the same site as the swf? If not then you need to enter the full (absolute) path
2) It could be that the FLVplayback component is not working correctly. Try to drag the FLVPlayback component onto the stage (different layer so that you can remove it if it doesn't work), and give it an instance name, say "moviePlayer".

Now try:
Code: Select all
 on(release) {
moviePlayer.contentPath = "mymovie.flv";
moviePlayer.play();
}

Does that help?
