Thank you.

Firstly, we must say sorry for we've made a mistake. The mediaplayback component doesn't follow the "base path" rule. Even if you've set the proper base path, it still cannot find the flv movie. You have to use the absolute path name.

When you convert a swf to exe using SWFKit by checking the "pack movies" option, swfkit will pack the movies in the output exe file. When you run the exe file, the swf movies will be extracted to a temporary folder. Then the problem comes. The temporary folder is different from that of the exe file. But the flv is in the same folder as the exe file. So the swf file and the flv file are in different folders. At last, the swf file CANNOT find the flv file!

The same problem will occur if you want to load an exeternal swf file. The problem can be solved by the "Application.setBasePath" method. After the proper base path has been set, the main swf file can find other swf files under the base path.

But the method doesn't help in this case. It seems that the "setBasePath" has nothing to do with the mediaplayback component. You have to use the absolute path name. Say the flv is in the folder "d:\myflvs", the url of the mediaplayback component must be "d:\myflvs\media.flv".

The attached sample shows how to play the external media.flv file.

In frame 1, the sample calls the "loadFLV" function in FFish script. The loadFLV function converts the relative path name to the absolute path name and fires the trigger component in Flash. The handler of the trigger component plays the flv file.

Sure, you can. You can stop the playing in action script, something like

on (release) 
{
  // stop the playing movie
  xxx.stop();
  getUrl("my.pdf");
}
