K I have a flash file being used contain a video file. It a 2 frame file, frame 1 is the preloaded and frame 2 contains the movie file embedded into a movieclip and a few buttons to control the movieclip.

On entering the page the preloader is activated and runs like it should, but when the file is completly loaded and it moved to frame 2 nothing happens. The buttons and everything on frame 2 appear except the movieclip does not play. Nothing happens when you press the buttons. If you right click on the flash file and select forward the movieclip starts to play or if you select play from the right click menu it runs through the preloads quickly goes to frame 2 and plays the movieclip just like it is suppose to. How can I correct this???

here is a link if you want to see what is happening for yourself.

When I've loaded video into flash it has asked me to give the video enough frames to allow it to play. One won't do it. Or is the complete lenghth of the video contained in another movie clip?

yeah I full length of the movie in contain within the movie clip. I think it is around 5500 frames.

I think you would have to add 5500 frames.

ha ha I figured it out. The problem was in the preloader. The percentage loaded was being calculated to 1 decimal point but when I was testing how much was loaded I was test for greater then 99% (which should be 100%) but when the percentage went to 99.1% it was progressing to the next frame. On a small file you wouldn't notice the diffence. But on this larger file all the frames were not loaded when it was moveing to the next frame. Changed the code to per>99.9 and now it works great.
