    I can't get my Flash video to automatically repeat. I have the correct parameter in place (so.addParam("loop", "true");) but my video still doesn't loop.

    Any thoughts about how to fix this problem?

    Thanks,
    Warren

    You shouldn't need to add any params to make your file loop. There must be a stop() action somewhere in your flash file. Do you want to post a link to your actual page?

    Hi Aran!

    I've looked everywhere for some type of stop() action but can't find any. Does the "rewind" parameter cause a stop?

    Anyhow, here's the link to my test page: http://www.hightechstrategies.com/metron/flash_test/index.html

    In the subdirectory called "flash_test" I have also place the .fla file if that helps. It's named "products.fla"

    Thanks very much for looking at this.

    Best regards,
    Warren

    Thanks for the extra info. Now that I know you are using a video compent, I can actaually help :) The FLVPlayback component means you have to add extra code in order to loop. Basically you have to listen to a "event" to see when the video has completed and tell it to start playing again. The code is as follows:

    import mx.video.*;
    // create a listener object which will 'hear' what events are being broadcast from the flvplayer
    var videoListener:Object = new Object();
    // code to run when we get the 'complete' event from the flvplayer
    videoListener.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
    // play the video again
    vidplayer.play();
    };
    // add the videoListener object to the list of objects which subscribe to the flvplayer events
    vidplayer.addEventListener("complete", videoListener);
    // BTW - vidplayer is the instance name I gave to your FLVPlayback component

    I have modified yout FLA here : http://www.misterhee.com/tests/products.zip
    Note that I have changed the flv video path to the absolute path on your webserver so I could test it locally from the flash IDE. Change this if you like (if the file is going to move etc)
