Playing Multiple FLVs at the same time

[adamg]

Hello,

 

I am trying to preload 5 FLVs and then play all 5 at the same time. I am completely stumped, any help would be really appreciated.

 

Here is my code:

 

import com.greensock.*;

import com.greensock.loading.*;

import com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent;

import com.greensock.loading.display.*;

 

//create a LoaderMax named "mainQueue" and set up onProgress, onComplete and onError listeners

var queue:LoaderMax = new LoaderMax({name:"mainQueue", onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler, onError:errorHandler});

 

//append several loaders

queue.append( new VideoLoader("IT_01.flv", {name:"mainClip01", estimatedBytes:1900, width:175, height:265, scaleMode:"proportionalOutside", crop:true, container:this, x:20, y:10, autoPlay:false}) );

queue.append( new VideoLoader("IT_02.flv", {name:"mainClip02", estimatedBytes:1900, width:142, height:225, scaleMode:"proportionalOutside", crop:true, container:this, x:200, y:40, autoPlay:false}) );

queue.append( new VideoLoader("IT_03.flv", {name:"mainClip03", estimatedBytes:1900, width:142, height:225, scaleMode:"proportionalOutside", crop:true, container:this, x:340, y:40, autoPlay:false}) );

queue.append( new VideoLoader("IT_04.flv", {name:"mainClip04", estimatedBytes:1900, width:142, height:225, scaleMode:"proportionalOutside", crop:true, container:this, x:40, y:280, autoPlay:false}) );

queue.append( new VideoLoader("IT_05.flv", {name:"mainClip05", estimatedBytes:1900, width:142, height:225, scaleMode:"proportionalOutside", crop:true, container:this, x:200, y:290, autoPlay:false}) );

queue.append( new ImageLoader("sq_frame.png", {name:"photo1", estimatedBytes:500, width:550, height:550, container:this, x:-10, y:2, alpha:100, scaleMode:"proportionalInside"}) );

 

//start loading

queue.load();

 

function progressHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {

trace("progress: " + event.target.progress);

myProgressBar.scaleX = event.target.progress;

}

 

function completeHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {

trace(event.target + " is complete!");

}

 

function errorHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {

trace("error occured with " + event.target + ": " + event.text);

}

 

stop();

in your completeHandler you can use queue.getChildren() to get an array of all the loaders.

you can then loop through all the loaders and tell them to playVideo().

 

 

since you have an ImageLoader in there at the end you don't want to playVideo() on that loader.

when you loop through the loaders you can

 

- run the loop only 5 times if you know there will only be 5 videos

 

or

 

- use a conditional statement to make sure that the loader is a VideoLoader

 

something like:

 

if(myArrayOfLoaders[i] is VideoLoader){
    myArrayOfLoaders[i].playVideo();
}else{
   trace("found a loader that isn't a VideoLoader");
}
