hi, my application is basically a viewstack with many external componet children:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" xmlns:local="*" > <mx:Panel id="pan" width="900" height="560" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" > <mx:ViewStack id="vs" widthFlex="0" borderStyle="none" width="{pan.width*0.95}" height="{pan.height*0.85}" creationPolicy="all" > <local:test00027vb00000 id="vb0" vs="{vs}"/> <local:test00027vb00001 id="vb1" vs="{vs}"/> .... .... <local:test00027vb00016 id="vb16" vs="{vs}"/> <local:test00027vb00018 id="vb18" vs="{vs}"/> </mx:ViewStack> <mx:Button id="nextButton" label="NEXT" width="300" click="Next();" /> </mx:Panel> </mx:Application> one of these comonents has a media display component and the problem is that the media starts to play for one second and then stops when the application is being initialized even when its autoplay property is set to false. when I change the creation policy of the viewstack to auto the media starts to play for a second when this component is being displayed (initilized) krzysiek Yahoo!
