Changing contentPath with button?

[16Bits]

I have an instance of the FLV Playback component on stage.

I want to change what video gets loaded into the player based
on which button is selected.

My guess is it has something to do with updating the contentPath in the FLV playback parameters, but I'm not sure how (Assuming it's possible) to go about it.

Any thoughts?

I built a YouTube-style video player a while back, I can't remember exactly how it all works, but here's some relevant code:

import mx.video.NCManager;
import mx.video.VideoPlayer;
var _dummy:NCManager;
var VP:VideoPlayer;
flvName="Video01";

b_play.onPress=function(){
	if(VP.playheadTime==VP.totalTime){
		VP.playheadTime=0;
	}
	VP.bufferTime=1;VP.width=400;VP.height=320;VP.autoRewind=false;
	VP.addEventListener("progress",LoadProg);
	VP.addEventListener("complete",EndIt);
	VP.play(_root.flvName+".flv");
}

function LoadProg(eventObj:Object):Void{
	PC=VP.bytesLoaded/VP.bytesTotal*100;
	loadBar._xscale=PC;
}
function EndIt(eventObj:Object):Void{
	pausd=1;b_pause._visible=0;b_play._visible=1;
}

onEnterFrame=function(){
	if(!pausd){
		playBar._xscale=(VP.playheadTime*1000)/(VP.totalTime*1000)*100;
		if(stopd){stopd=0;VP.play();}
	}else{
		VP.pause();
		stopd=1;
	}
}

I guess to choose different videos you should just be able to create an array of the flv filenames/paths (in quotes) and pull an item out of that array for the flvName variable.

There's some irrelevant code in there too, eg stopd and b_pause, the Instance Name of the MC on stage was VP (set to Class: mx.video.VideoPlayer in the library). The Video component itself is set to Video (Actionscript-controlled) in the library properties, and placed inside the VP MC.

Hope that sort of makes sense - if not, try this (set to import from a flv filename variable appended to the swf eg VPlayer.swf?flvName=Video01 - should be adapted easily enough)
