FLVPlayback doesn't work

[Steve25]

I've looked at over 5 tutorials on how to do this but it still does the same thing. I've put an FLVPlayback component on the stage and selected the video file in the source (using AS3). However when i publish the file there's no video at all only sound. How can i make it show the video as well?

What file format is the video? Are you sure that the video file is good and includes both video and audio? Have you tested it on another player? If you don't have another flash video player you can also crack open the .flv (which is just a container format, containing both an audio file and a video file) using flvextract. It's free, Google for download sources.

Thanks for the replies fortunatly i did get it to work. It seems although it appeared to be flv it wasn't therefore it wouldn't play. However i have a new problem.

At the moment when the flash file starts up i have set it to not autorun. But the first frame on the video is shown. The problem is i want the background to be shown with just the player buttons when it starts and not show the video until the user clicks play. Does anyone know any way i can do this?
