Hello, it's been a few years since I've touched flash, so perhaps I'm just overlooking something. If anyone could look at the code and offer any suggestions that would be awesome.
What's working, I select a video from a combobox that is populated from an XML file, pick the video and it plays.
I've been trying to add pause/play, stop, forward and reverse functionality, once I get that to work I also want to add a video scrubber(slider), and previous/next buttons to go to the previous/next video as listed in the xml file.
At the moment I have a component button on the stage called playButton, which I'm trying to use for pause/play functionality. Below is my code, the player control is at the very bottom. Thanks.
import fl.data.DataProvider;
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
var videosXML:XML = new XML();
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var request:URLRequest= new URLRequest("xml/videos.xml");
var videos:Array = new Array({label:"Select a Video",data:""});
var client:Object = new Object();
theVideo.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.client = client;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loaderOnComplete);
loader.load (request);
function loaderOnComplete(event:Event):void{
videosXML = new XML(event.target.data);
for each (var video:XML in videosXML.video){
videos.push({label:video.name.toString(),data:video.url.toString()});
}
moviesCB.dataProvider = new DataProvider(videos);
}
moviesCB.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeHandler);
function changeHandler(event:Event):void {
if(ComboBox(event.target).selectedItem.data != ""){
ns.play(ComboBox(event.target).selectedItem.data);
}
};
client.onMetaData = metadataHandler;
function metadataHandler(md:Object):void{
}
//player controls
playButton.onRelease = function() {
ns.pause();
}
