event playProgress playComplete?

[ianlens]

Hi I'm writing this on a bouncy bus on the way to the client, so I lo be brief.

 

Can anyone sketch the code to add an event listener to capture the video playProgress variable? I want to watch the completion of the play event to trigger a referenced function. Thanks I'm really looking forward to your reply.

 

I've been pouring over the docs and only have come up with some really dirty code.

Its not really a loader issue. I guess i could get the flash video classes to handle it but im sure Jack would have written a hook into the event!

 

Cheers AND thanks in advance - Ian

I'm a little fuzzy on what you're asking here specifically - are you wanting to listen for when the Video completes playing (reaches the end of the video as it's playing)? If so, it'd be like:

 

var loader:VideoLoader = new VideoLoader("myVideo.flv", {autoPlay:true});
loader.addEventListener(VideoLoader.VIDEO_COMPLETE, videoCompleteHandler);
function videoCompleteHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
   trace("video finished: " + event.target);
}
loader.load();

 

Does that answer your question?

Great yes that's it sooo we can dope up the loader with any custom listener.

Brilliant - thanks.

It's an excellent starting point.
