i am relatively a newbie in the field of flash. i have this problem.

i have a video which i converted to swf format using sorensons. i dynamically load this video into an empty movie clip in my main movie. I also have additional playback controls like play, pause etc. As soon as i load the movie clip, it starts playing. This is not acceptable. I want it to pause when it loads and only play when i click the play button. To make this happen i tried giving the command

this._parent.empty.stop();

in the button which i used to load the movie. (note: 'empty' is the name of my empty movie clip) But this didin't help either.

would be grateful if somenone tells me how to do it. remember i am a newbie so less jargon please...

less jargon i didn't get half of that stuff. Since the sound wav is a movie clip why not just add a stop(); action on the first frame?

[CoryMathews]

lol ye just make frame 1 and 2 keytframes and then in frame 1 put a stop();

Where are u suggesting to add the stop action..? in my main movie timeline or in the timeline of the movie clip that i am loading..? i cannot do the latter bcos it is a ready made swf file (which the sorenson squeeze sofware made) and i do not have the .fla file for it...
