Controlling video playback using
behaviors
Video behaviors provide one way to control video playback. Behaviors are prewritten
ActionScript scripts that you add to a triggering object to control another object. Behaviors let
you add the power, control, and flexibility of ActionScript coding to your document without
having to create the ActionScript code. Video behaviors let you play, stop, pause, rewind, fast-
forward, show, and hide a video clip.
To control a video clip with a behavior, you use the Behaviors panel to apply the behavior to a
triggering object, such as a movie clip. You specify the event that will trigger the behavior
(such as releasing the movie clip), select a target object (the video that is affected by the
behavior), and when necessary, select settings for the behavior, such as the number of frames
to rewind.
The triggering object must be a movie clip. It is not possible to attach video playback
behaviors to button symbols or button components.
