I've found several tutorials for creating your own buttons for your flash videos, but I had a simple question about Flash's video player it creates for you when you import a video; is there a way to pause a video on load, so that it only starts playing when you click the play button? I've tried a few things, and they don't seem to work.
Thanks for any and all help.

Are you embedding it on the timeline or using a component player, or netStream?

Well, I'm importing the .flv into the stage where it will play (or rather pause). I haven't done any scripting for the player thus far, I let Flash set up everything I need. Eventually, it will be viewed, streaming over the internet.
Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

Using AS2.0 or AS3.0?

2.0. Thought I posted this in the AS 2.0 forum, woops.

Attach or provide a link to your .fla.

Well, it's a pretty general file with any .flv in it. Convert any .mpg or .mov into .flv and get it to pause on load. That's pretty much all I need.

When the embedding is done, add a new layer, and insert a stop(); action on the first frame.
