I am trying to create a banner that when you mouse over it, will play video from an flv file. Is there a script or something to make this work? Placing the video as the "over" in the button timeline doesnt work.

I guess you can't do it then.

Ive seen apple do it.
A banner says click here for commercial...you click it and an flv starts... shouldnt be too hard...

well, the flv is already in the banner. it's just paused. So the Click here is just telling the flv to start or play.
hope that helps

first of all an flv is streaming, so you won't be able to view it locally.
second, you don't put anything in the "over"state of the button.
you will just need to target the mc in which your flv player is in and have it start playing on rollover.
basic example:
give your button an instance name and put this code on the main timeline:your_button.onRollover=function...
your_flv_holder_clip.gotoAndStop... movie");
}

i wonder if theres a script that im missing...
do you need a script to start an over animation for a button?

thx LVL I got it to work, that was a bitch. BTW is it possible to do a getURL atthe end of an FLV clip?

the flv doesn't work in the over state for a button?
no offence but are you having a fucking laugh?
you're one of the cousins that cunts refer to when they say, 'yeah that's a little expensive, my cousin knows flash, maybe i will get him to make it'.
tell you what, i'll make you a script that will do it all for you, for £500. Given that google says no, i think that's a fair deal.
