How to make a Flash Video start playing on MouseOver, and stop on MouseOut

Question

I'm wondering how I can make a Flash start playing a video on MouseOver, and stop playing on MouseOut.

Answer 1

Assuming you've imported your video libraries and myVideo is the instance name of your video

myVideo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, playMovie);
myVideo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, stopMovie);

function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
    myVideo.play();
}
function stopMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
   myVideo.stop();
}
