How do you listen for a netStatus event on a VideoLoader?

[jguthrie]

I can see (using VideoLoaderVars) that there is an onHTTPStatus() function but not sure how to listen for the netstatus.

You can add it manually, like:

 

myVideoLoader.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, myFunction);
function myFunction(event:LoaderEvent):void {
   trace("NetStatusEvent. code: " + event.data.code);
}

ah gotcha thanks!

The confusion is due to an error in the ASDocs.

 

netStatus event

Event object type: flash.events.NetStatusEvent

 

Line #28 in VideoLoader.as is currently:

 

[Event(name="netStatus", type="flash.events.NetStatusEvent")]

 

and it should be:

 

[Event(name="netStatus",type="com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent"]

 

It is just using the same string as NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, but it is actually a LoaderEvent that is dispatched.

 

Hope that helps.

Yep, thanks for pointing that out. It used to be dispatched as a NetStatusEvent, but when it changed to LoaderEvent, I neglected to update that line for the ASDocs.
