Reusing Embedded FLV files in different scenes

[mikez93]

I've got a single embedded FLV file in my movie. The FLV video is being used twice (at different places in the timeline).

The problem is that FLV file is not being reused. The bits are being added to the file twice (the video is showing up twice in the size report). The swf is twice as large (in terms of kb) as it should be.

Anyone know what's going on here?

Thanks!

As opposed to dropping the FLV straight to the timeline - make it a movie clip first. Then you can use it as many times as you want and only have to pay for it (in bits) once.

Why not to load your FLV dynamically. It's way better option.
